Let it get to a good active simmer again, keep stirring once in a while. Butter, broth, more spices anytime during this process. Let it go for a bit. Add more whole garlic after it's cooked dowm, and add the other cans of broth and artichoke, making sure it still has liquid to simmer off. 4/

Once it's churning and has a nice simmer again add a cup or so of the grains of your choice- not too much or it'll solidify. Adding more butter ain't a bad idea. Keep an eye on it and add more liquids and seasoning as needed. 5/
