Mushroom and Potato Chowder

Here is a new one! New to me anyway. My husband and I are soup fans. Although we have our favorites that we like to make, we try to find new ones to add to our collection. This will be a new one added to our collection. If you like potatoes and Mushrooms, you will for sure love it. It is very similar to Potato soup, but a different taste as well with the mushroom's added. Try it out and see what you think :)

Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
1/4c butter
2TBS flour
1tsp salt
1/2tsp pepper
3c water
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 lrg potatoes, peeled & diced
1/2 c chopped carrots (I just bought a small bag of baby carrots and cut them all in half and put them all in.)
1c cream
1/2c grated parmesan (I am a cheese person, so I used half a bag, probably next time will put the full bag :) )

Directions:
In a large pot, saute onion in butter until tender. Add flour, salt and pepper. Stir to make a smooth paste. Gradually add water, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook & stir for 1 minute. Add mushrooms, potatoes and carrots. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 min. or until veggies are tender. Add cream and Parmesan; heat through.
