2 tablespoons butter

3 cups fat-free chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 cup baby portabella mushrooms
3/4 cup parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces, freshly grated if possible)

salt and pepper

Steps:

Melt the butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.

Mix in asparagus and mushrooms. Continue adding broth 1/2 cup at a time until bulgur is just tender and mixture is creamy, simmering after each addition and stirring often until broth is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Stir in most of the Parmesan, milk and tarragon.
