  Place 2 cups of vegetable broth in a large saucepan. Scoop the apple from its skin, quarter the onion, and scoop the squash and measure it to make 2 cups. Place these vegetables and fruit into the broth and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile add all the spices, salt and agave nectar to the pot.

  With an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Add the cream cheese and continue to simmer until cheese begins to soften. Again use the blender to bring the soup to a smooth consistency. Add a little more broth if the soup seems too thick. Serve in 1 cup portions. You may sprinkle the soup with a bit of chopped toasted nuts or toasted squash seeds.
