Cook the beef in a large stockpot or Dutch oven, mincing it with a wooden spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the onion, carrots, garlic, and thyme. Season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the Arrowroot powder to the coconut milk and whisk together until very smooth.
Add beans, potatoes, and broth into your stockpot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer.
Simmer your soup, over low heat, for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the coconut milk mixture and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Garnish with crushed chili flakes and parsley, if desired.
Enjoy!
