PREPARATION:
1) Chop the asparagus into bite-size pieces, add to a large pan along with a tablespoon of olive oil, and cook until just tender-crisp. Remove from pan and set aside.
2) Add the risotto starter into the same pan (no need to clean!) over medium heat and break apart with a wooden spoon. Carefully pour in ½ cup white wine (or water) and cook on medium low heat until the liquid is almost absorbed (about 5 minutes).
3) Carefully pour in 1-1½ cups of asparagus & parmesan bisque, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, and the rice is tender (about 5-10 minutes).
4) Turn the heat off and stir in about 2 Tbsp compound butter and half of the parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
5) Transfer to a serving dish and top with remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
