Hello Pete,
Risotto rice goes on absorbing liquid so if you need to leave it longer I would cook it for less time earlier. If you cook it for 25 minutes so that it is still quite wet and has some bite, then cover it with a cloth. Then when you have finished the soup, warm it up briefly if it needs it, then stir in the butter a cheese and serve.
Now on a nationwide tour until November 2024, Awful Auntie is visiting over 25 venues nationwide and three lucky members have the chance of winning four tickets each to see this production in our competition with the Birmingham Stage Company.

I hope you both have a very enjoyable meal.
