       1                cup  chopped onion

       1                tablespoon  butter

       1                cup  uncooked arborio or medium grain rice

       1                cup  dry Champagne

       4                cups  reduced-sodium chicken broth -- heated

     1/4              cup  freshly grated Parmesan cheese


Cook onion in butter until soft in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir 2 to 3 minutes.

Add Champagne; stir until absorbed. Stir in 1 cup broth. Cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed.

Continue to add 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring and simmering until fully absorbed before adding each addition.

Risotto is done when rice is creamy and still has a slight bite. It will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in cheese. Serve immediately.
