Add the broth, ½ cup at a time, allowing the liquid to be absorbed by the risotto while continuing to stir before each addition. Continue stirring.
Add the tomato, green onion, basil, and half of the cheese. Add cream, if desired. Stir well to mix until the cheese is melted and all ingredients are incorporated. Serve the risotto with the remaining cheese.
