Prepare the asparagus and cut it into small pieces. Fry the bacon cubes in a cast-iron pot, then add the diced onion and asparagus pieces and roast briefly. Add the kritharaki and deglaze with the cremefine and vegetable stock. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently. Once everything is cooked, stir in the spices and cream cheese.

White asparagus can be used instead of green asparagus, and other spices can be added to taste.
