I'm really not quite sure how to feel about this recipe...I mean soup is probably one of my top three favorite things to eat but this recipe seems a little technical to me, or maybe I'm just missing the concept. For instance, when you scrape the butter-flour mixture into the hot soup...is that to make the soup thicker? And, if you mix hot soup into the eggs...doesn't it scramble the eggs...or is it supposed to scramble them and that's the purpose of doing it that way?
