Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10-15 minutes or until the squash is tender. Remove from heat.
Puree the soup with an emersion blender or in a blender or food processor until smooth. Pour the soup back into the pot and stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning as necessary. If you'd like a creamier soup, add more coconut milk as desired.
