Notes
If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use chicken broth or water instead.
The risotto may thicken upon standing, so you can add a little more broth or cream to loosen it up.
Leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop with a little broth or water to loosen it up.
