Sprinkle in flour and cook for 3 minutes to form a paste (blonde roux). Slowly incorporate broth and milk and stir to blend. Add diced potatoes, fresh corn, hot sauce, all-purpose seasoning, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Cover and reduce heat to low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add heavy cream and fresh herbs in the last 5 minutes. Serve warm with crusty bread.
