Directions
Heat the oil in a large pot, over medium heat. Add the onion and nutmeg and saute the onion until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add squash (cut into 1 inch chunks), broth, apple (cored and diced) and apple juice. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, until the squash is fork tender.
