Prepare the poblano peppers by roasting them under a broiler or on a grill until the skin is charred, about 10-15 minutes. Let them steam for 10 minutes, then peel, remove seeds, and chop.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 5 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the roasted poblano peppers to the pot and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender, then return to the pot if needed.
Stir in heavy cream, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat through for 5 minutes, then stir in lime juice and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
