Ingredients:

Serving

4 cups (1-inch) slices asparagus (about 1 1/2 lb), divided
3 cups fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth, divided
1 1/2 cups water
1 tbsp butter
2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large)
2 cups uncooked arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup (4 oz) grated fresh parmigiano-reggiano cheese, divided
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Place 1 cup asparagus and 1 cup broth in a blender; puree until smooth. Combine puree, remaining 2 cups broth, and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook 8 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in rice; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine; cook 2 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add 1/2 cup broth mixture; cook 2 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining puree mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 30 minutes total). Stir in remaining 3 cups asparagus; cook 2 minutes.
Stir in 3/4 cup cheese, cream, salt, and pepper. Transfer risotto to a bowl. Serve with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
