  6. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.
  7. Add the chopped apple to the soup.
  8. Simmer, covered, for another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of whole milk and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  10. Slowly pour the milk mixture into the soup, stirring constantly.
  11. Cook and stir until the soup is bubbly and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
