Recipe View 30 mins Pour in the half-and-half and heat gently, being careful not to let the soup boil. Cook on low heat for about 30 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper if needed.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock in place of water and bouillon cubes.
If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of it using an immersion blender before adding the half-and-half.
Smoked turkey wings or a smoked turkey carcass can be substituted for the legs.
Add a splash of sherry or Madeira in the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra layer of complexity.
