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!
Serving Size: Makes about 6 1-cup servings
