Steps:

• Add the thyme and stir for one minute. Then add the potatoes, beans, and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the flavors have melded.
• Stir in the kale (optional), then cover and simmer until tender - about 5 minutes. Finally, add the coconut milk and lemon juice and heat through - about 2 minutes.
