    It was very creamy but rather bland. I replaced a cup of chicken stock with a cup of white wine (added in while the rice was cooking with the onions, although next time I'll have to add more wine. Garlic and shrimp (or asparagus, mushrooms, lobster, etc.. would have definitely made this a better dish. As for your basic Risotto recipe, it was alright.

    We made this for Mother's Day and it turned out perfect!! I usually do a "box kit", so decided to make it from scratch for mother's day, and I am glad I did. It was so simple, tasted wonderful, and everyone took seconds! We served it with butterflied grilled shrimp, asparagus, a salad, and dessert. I have put this recipe where I store my top 20 "go to" recipes in my kitchen. I agree with other reviewer that it does take longer than it states...plan for about 45min.

    This was my first attempt ever to make risotto, so I looked for a simple recipe. Even halving the recipe it came out exactly the way it was supposed, and was delicious! I served it with pan seared scallops. Next time I will try more add-ins, like veggies, etc.

    It had a good flavor and everything was as it was explained. The one problem I had was it took about 30 min. more cooking time than was said in the recipe. I would suggest doing about 3 or 4 trial runs with this one before serving guest.I served this with baked chicken and it would have been great if the chicken was planned for with a 50 min. alotment for the rice instead of 30 min. The chicken dried out on the extended wait period. In their defense they did say that stove temp. would vary. Last word Practice .

    The only thing I would change is a small onion vs. the medium one. Other than that, perfeft! Creamy, rich. Simply outstanding!

    Made this tonight for dinner but added garlic to the recipe. I used pecorino romano cheese instead. My boyfriend loved it! It took more like 30 min to cook though. I will make this one again!

    I was surprised at how creamy the risotto came out, just by slowly cooking it with chicken broth and a little butter. However, I questioned if all the stirring and pouring was really necessary...I started to wonder how it would turn out if I just threw it all together in my rice cooker. It was really tasty after adding just a little bit of salt, pepper, and cheese. I added the tomatoes and basil, but actually preferred it without.

    I made this with friends and we absolutely loved it. We're all kind of health nuts, so this recipe was great - filling, but tastes light and wholesome, too.

    Why does everyone like this ? It looks tastes and smells like Campbell's chicken and rice soup. Except pasty. And bland. I guess I'm more of a rice purist.
