Soups are popular in Switzerland. And the secret to the balance of flavors of this traditional Swiss soup is gently toasting the flour first. I first found this recipe on the recipeland website, but I've also seen it on the Allrecipes site (submitted by Corwinn Darkholme), but I didn't check to see if it's an exact duplicate.
