In large saucepan, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add garlic, carrots and onion, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add veal and mushrooms.

Stir in remaining broth, milk, tomato paste, nutmeg and bay leaves; bring to simmer. Stir in squash and salt. Cover; cook, stirring every 15 minutes, for 1 hour. Remove lid; simmer for 12 minutes or until very thick. Remove from heat; discard bay leaves.
