Melt butter in a large sauce pan over medium high heat, cook carrots and onions until tender-about 5 minutes.
Stir in broth, rice, salt and pepper and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer. Cover and simmer for 13 minutes.
Uncover and stir, making sure remove any rice that may be sticking to the bottom of the sauce pan. Mix in yellow squash and zucchini.
Recover and simmer an additional 5-10 mins, or until the rice is tender.
If desired, garnish individual servings with your favorite fresh herbs and salt and pepper.
