Take a large pan and fill three cups water (or chicken broth), bring to the boil, then carefully add the  rabbit.
Bring to boil again and simmer for 5 minutes skimming off anything that floats to the top.  Add carrots, onions, potatoes, and simmer for 1.5 hours.  Add squash and simmer 30 minutes longer.
