This is the first risotto recipe I've ever tried making. I was short on the proper ingredients so I had to substitute dried mushrooms for fresh white mushrooms, risotto rice for small grain white rice, and I didn't have the fresh herbs to add in the end. Never the less, this recipe was very good. I needed to add a bit more water in the end just so the rice would cook a couple more minutes to soften up. The sauce was creamy but not over powering and too rich. It was fast and easy to prepare.

It was the first time I have ever cooked risotto but it worked out really well. It was really easy to follow. I didn't use the canned soup - instead just thickened cream with seasoning which made the risotto not as creamy but still really flavoursome. Loved it!

This was a hit at my house and my 2 year old had 3 helpings! It's a bit time consuming but we enjoyed trying something a little new.

This turned out great with a few alterations. First, I didn't use the water and the cream of mushroom soup as a previous reviewer stated it turned out gloppy. Second, I used 8 ounces of fresh sliced white button mushrooms. Third, I substituted mushroom broth for the chicken. So, I just skipped the 1st two steps and cooked the mushrooms until they were soft.

This was so good and it made so much, that with only two of us, we ate it 3 nights in a row. I just left it in the pot each night with the top on (in the refrigerator of course), and then when I wanted it for the next night, I just put the pot back on the stove and slowly added around a cup of broth again. My boyfriend and I both thought it got better each night!!

Made this last night for company, and although I enjoyed it, I didn't get the rave reviews I was expecting for the amount of time it took to prepare it. You need to allow more time than the recipe indicates. I used skim milk and Aborio rice but otherwise followed the recipe exactly as printed. The flavor was good if a little bland for my palate and the next time I make it (yes, I will make it again) I will include more garlic and other seasonings to spice it up a little bit. It was pretty sticky and I have to agree with other reviewers who thought it had the consistancy of oatmeal. Still, I thought it had a good flavor and would be a good starting point for my next Risotto attempt.

pretty good, lots of stirring, so make sure you have time to devote. its not pretty to look at but the flavor is good.

I made this with vegetable broth and a good helping of fresh mushrooms (button and portabello), and it turned out nicely. I also stirred in some grated parmesan before serving. Tasted great!

My husband and I loved it. This was my first try at making risotto, and it turned out to be easier than I thought, though time consuming. The results were worth it! I used fresh baby portabello mushrooms instead of the porcini, and low fat mushroom soup. I will definitely make this again.

This risotto was wonderful! It was so easy and so good! Unfortunately my husband hated it....not because of the taste, he hated the texture. Definitely five stars though!

This is probably more a 3.5 because it did taste good. However the fact that it's not the prettiest dish and the consistency was as my daughter put it kind of gloopy makes me doubt that I would make it again. This may well be something that I did though. I did use vegetable stock instead of chicken to make it vegetarian and we did all eat it and just because it didn't entirely work for me doesn't mean it won't for somebody else. Thanks for letting me try.

I made this for my boyfriend, brother, and brother's new girlfriend and everyone really loved it. My brother said it was the best risotto he'd ever had! I was having a poor day though, so used (lots and lots of)cheddar instead of parmesan, and the big wide mushrooms. Had with a crispy salad with vinaigrette, perfect.

We really enjoyed this dish. Thank you

Good recipe!

So yummy. This was a BIG hit with the family. Made it exactly like it said and it turned out wonderful.
