   Gather all ingredients.

   Warm broth in a saucepan over low heat. Meanwhile, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a deep-sided large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sliced portobello and white mushrooms; cook and stir until soft, about 3 minutes. Remove mushrooms and their liquid to a bowl; set aside.

   Pour in wine, stirring constantly until wine is fully absorbed. Add 1/2 cup warm broth to the rice, and stir until the broth is absorbed.
