Saute celery and onion in 1 1/2 Tbs. butter over med/low heat until tender (about 8 minutes). Stir in rice, rutabagas, chicken broth and 3 C. water. Bring to simmer over high heat and stir. Season lightly with salt, cover partially and simmer till rutabagas are tender. (Approximately 1 hour). Pour soup, adding a little milk if needed, in batches in a blender.
