- 1.5 lbs asparagus, trimmed and cut into pieces Look for bright green asparagus for best flavor.
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic adds depth to the flavor.
- 4 cups vegetable broth Low-sodium broth is a healthier option.

Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the asparagus is tender.
