   bring to boil water, rice onion, & diced bell pepper.
   Reduce heat & simmer covered for about 25 min or until
   rice is a little tender. Add celery, bell pepper
   squares, carrot, garlic, oregano, basil, celery seed
   and tomato paste. Continue simmering 20-30 min or
   until added veggies are tender and rice is completely
   cooked. Add chili powder, tamari and salt to taste.
   Simmer 5 min or until flavors are well blended. Adjust
   seasonings to taste. You can also add a few table
   spoons of powdered vegetable broth to make a creamier
   broth. Nutrition (per serving): 119 calories,  Total
