1-1/4 lbs fresh Brussels sprouts (See note)
2 cups water
1 (8 oz) can sliced water chestnuts, drained

Wash brussels sprouts thoroughly, and remove discolored leaves. Cut off stem ends, and slash bottom of each sprout with a shallow x. Place brussels sprouts and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture comes to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. Place sprouts in a lightly greased 1-1/2 quart casserole; layer water chestnuts over sprouts. Combine soup and next 4 ingredients in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until cheese melts, stirring occasionally. Pour soup mixture over water chestnuts. Sprinkle with almonds.
