Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    2.5-3 cups fresh Mushrooms
    1 bunch fresh asparagus
    6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
    1 32oz box of Swanson's 99% fat free chicken broth
    1/2 cup whipping cream
    1 Tbsp olive oil
    3 cloves garlic
    1/8 tsp nutmeg (really adds a lot. don't skip!)
    Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a deep sauce pan. Mince the garlic and let it cook in the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and saute until they are soft.

Steam the asparagus in the microwave for 5 minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the bacon also in the microwave. Crumble when cool. (Or if you're impatient, use a pizza cutter!)

To the pan with the mushrooms, add the chicken broth and asparagus. Add the salt and pepper to taste, and the nutmeg. Add any other seasonings you like. I added a few red pepper flakes. Because that's how we roll. Let it simmer for a little while. Then, add the bacon and cream, and let it simmer a little more until warmed through. Serve!
