In Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper and garlic; cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add potatoes; sprinkle with curry, flour, cumin and pepper; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.

Stir in broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Add squash; simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
