Cabbage Water Chestnuts N Celery Casserole

---

This is a very tasty way to serve cabbage mixed with the celery. Do not over cook the veggies you want to have a crunch left. I often do this dish ahead and just pop it in the oven 25 minutes before dinner. i cut the soup back to 1/4 cup but it depends how saucy you like things
