Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
Season cut side of squash generously with S&P and lay cut side down on a non-stick baking sheet (spray sheet with Pam or grease slightly with olive oil). Pierce skin side of squash all over with the tip of a sharp knife and rub a light coating of olive oil over the skin. Roast squash for 45 minutes.
While squash is cooking, heat olive oil and butter in a skillet and saute apple and onion over medium heat until soft (not brown), about 8 minutes.
Once squash is finished cooking, set aside allow to cool enough to be handled. Remove the skin - it should peel off relatively easily. If not, then scoop the flesh out with a spoon.
Combine squash, apple & onion mixture, and 2 cups of broth in a blender and puree until smooth. You may have to do this in two batches. Transfer puree to a pot and add more broth if it's too thick for your taste. Stir in nutmeg and reheat soup over medium heat.
This soup is delicious as is, but you can add some flair but sprinkled fresh bacon bits, chopped roasted chestnuts, or chives over the top.
Soup may be made ahead and reheated prior to serving.
