1. In large saucepan, combine broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer while preparing risotto.
2. Meanwhile, melt margarine in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot and asparagus stems; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until onion and carrot are tender. Stir in garlic and wine; cook 1 minute or until wine boils.
3. Add rice and 1 cup of the simmering liquid. Cook until liquid is absorbed into rice, stirring frequently. Continue to add liquid 1 cup at a time, cooking until liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently.
