07 Step

Recipe View Stir in fresh lemon juice and half-and-half. Heat gently, almost to a boil, but do not boil. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, use homemade turkey broth. If using store-bought broth, opt for low-sodium varieties.
To toast slivered almonds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, parsnips, or leeks, for added depth of flavor.
If the soup becomes too thick, add a little more turkey broth or half-and-half to reach desired consistency.
This soup is even better the next day as the flavors meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
