1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy stockpot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, shallots, and thyme to the pot and saute until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the parsnips and cauliflower and saute for another minute.
2. Add coconut milk, vegetable stock, mustard, lemon, Crazy Feta, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for another 12 to 15 minutes.
3. Remove thyme sprigs and add three-quarters of the mixture to your blend and carefully puree until smooth. Pour pureed portion of chowder back into pot and add white beans. Stir and cook another few minutes, tasting and adjusting seasoning to your liking.
4. To serve, sprinkle with a few extra sprigs of thyme, some za'atar seasoning blend, or some crumbled bacon.
