Instructions: Soak rice 2 or 3 hours. Drain and put in well-buttered casserole.

Slice the carrots, potatoes and onions in thick slices, slice celery in fairly large pieces. Place in layers on top of rice. Sprinkle each layer generously with garlic chips, season with pepper and parsley. Add a pinch or two of bay leaves and caraway seed or sweet basil. Lay cabbage wedges over top and pour over all the following well mixed.

1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
1 heaping tablespoon beef base
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 1/2 cups water

Bake in 350 degree oven until vegetables and rice are done. About 1 1/2 hours, or more.
