The fresh herbs used were bay leaf, marjoram, parsley. I didn't mix the flour with the milk being that traditionally one does that with softened or melted butter. THIS IS AN ELEGANT SOUP that has a charming very light green color, the flavor is very mild but comes on rich as though made with heavy cream. A very light sprinkle of parmesan is nice. Next time I might add a couple gratings of nutmeg, just a little in that this soups holds up well by itself.
