1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 3-1/2 pounds)
3-1/2 quarts water
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
5 bacon strips, diced
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups cubed peeled potatoes
1 tablespoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1
Place chicken, water and bouillon in a Dutch oven or soup kettle. Cover and slowly bring to a boil; skim foam. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth; let stand until cool enough to handle. Remove 1 cup broth and set aside.
2
In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to paper towels to drain, reserving 2 tablespoons drippings. Saute the carrots, onion and asparagus in drippings over medium heat until crisp-tender. Add to kettle along with the potatoes, salt, thyme and pepper; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
3
Combine flour and reserved broth until smooth; stir into soup. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove chicken from bones; discard bones and skin. Cut chicken into thin strips; add to soup along with cream and parsley. Heat through (do not boil). Sprinkle with bacon just before serving.
