Preheat the broiler in your oven. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Place the poblano peppers on the prepared baking sheet and roast under the broiler for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the skins are blackened and blistered.
Remove the poblanos from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to aid in peeling.
While the poblanos steam, heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Cut the onion into small dices and add to the pot, cooking for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Mince the garlic and add to the pot, sautΓ©ing for another minute until fragrant.
Chop the cauliflower into florets and add to the pot.
Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
Once the poblanos are cool enough to handle, peel off the blackened skins, remove the seeds, and roughly chop the peppers. Add them to the pot.
Using an immersion blender, or transferring the soup to a blender in batches, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the coconut milk, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Simmer the soup for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
