Add the flour and continue to sauté for an additional 5-10 minutes. Add the oregano, thyme and basil and sauté for 1-2 additional minutes. Slowly add the prepared Chicken Bases and bring the mixture back to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
