Instructions
1. Sauté the Aromatics
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent (about 2–3 minutes).

2. Add Vegetables
- Add the chopped broccoli, cauliflower, and potato to the pot. Stir to coat the vegetables with the aromatics.
3. Add Broth
- Pour in the vegetable broth or water, ensuring the vegetables are covered.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
