Basic Creamy Risotto image

This recipe comes from Judy Johnson and is from the cookbook "Extraordinary Cuisine for Sea & Shore". I choose chicken or beef broth depending on what I am serving this with. Occasionally I'll add in some asparagus tips or grated carrot to give it some color....feel free to add what you'd like.
