For a richer flavor, consider using homemade vegetable broth or adding a splash of dry sherry during the final minutes of cooking. Toasting the almonds enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can blend a portion of the soup before adding the half-and-half. Wild rice can be cooked in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
