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.
