- 2 medium russet potatoes (about 1 pound), diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until fragrant and translucent (3-4 minutes).
