  1. Sunshine REVIEW:

    I made this recipe & added a few things. Turned out restaurant quality thank you. Additions: Pan fried 1 large brown onion and 4 cloves of garlic with water over low heat and simmered once brown I added 600g of chicken breast cut into small pieces. Once cooked I transferred to the risotto, slow cooker. I also added 1/2 cup of milk as per the condensed Mushroom soup can suggestion. Also rather than putting the mushrooms straight into the slow cooker. I pan fried them to get that yummy flavour pumping.

    I love risotto and this tasted just like "real" risotto!

  3. KITBIT REVIEW:

    Turned out great!

  4. Ilovevegas REVIEW:

    I'm normally suspicious of any kind of rice or pasta in the crock pot because they can get so mushy. However, risotto is supposed to have that creamy texture so I gave this a shot. It turned out pretty good. Lacked a little flavor but I used low sodium soup so that might be the difference. I do like that it called for fresh mushrooms not canned.

    Got this recipe from the newsletter today. Loved it!

    1 star....I was ready to make this recipe until I noticed that I had to add a can of mushroom soup. I prefer not to use manufactured products as they add too much sodium among things. If this recipe was from scratch I would make it.
