Add 6 oz white mushroom and sauté for 3 minutes until soft and golden brown.
Add 1 1/4 cup Arborio rice and stir with the mushroom.
Add 1 cup unsalted chicken broth and turn the heat down to low. Stir constantly until the broth is slightly absorbed.
Add another 1 cup unsalted chicken broth, stirring often, and let it simmer until it's slightly absorbed. Then, add 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream.
Stir occasionally until the liquid is fully absorbed into the rice (about 20 minutes).
