Repeat step8, simmer for 15 minutes in total until the soup is gone. Taste the rice, and if your rice have a hard core at the center, you can stop to simmer it. When you make a risotto, simmer the cooked rice until it gets chewy. So I recommend to stop to simmer with the rice being a little harder.
