It only takes 20 minutes to make this hearty soup. If you don’t have an immersion hand-held blender, puree the soup, in batches, in a regular blender. Make sure to add in the turkey and the half-and-half after blending the soup. It's imperative to do so to ensure that the flavors are mixed together before that final step. Stirring in the basil before serving gives the soup a pleasant aroma. Serve with a side salad or half of a sandwich for a filling lunch, or pair with a piece of toast or a slice of French bread for a light dinner.
