For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning. This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated. The flavor will improve as it sits. For a slow cooker version, combine all ingredients (except half-and-half) in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Stir in half-and-half during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
