Microwave at High for 4 to 5 minutes or until onion is very tender, stirring once. Blend in flour; stir in chicken stock and squash. Microwave at High for 7 to 9 minutes until boiling and thickened, stirring once. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add orange juice and rind; season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
