   3. While the squash is baking, heat a 2-quart stockpot over a medium flame. Add the leeks and celery and saute for 7 to 8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time to keep the vegetables from sticking. Add the sage, poultry seasoning, rice, and vegetable broth. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes, until the rice is tender. Season with salt and pepper.
