Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add onion and garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent (about 2–3 minutes).
If you want an extra boost of flavor and healing, add ginger or turmeric at this point.
Add Vegetables
Add the chopped broccoli, cauliflower, and potato to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the aromatics.
Add Broth
Pour in the vegetable broth or water, ensuring that the vegetables are fully covered.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes until the vegetables become tender.
Blend the Soup
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot, or transfer it in batches to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the milk for added creaminess.
Season and Serve
Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency with more broth or milk if needed.
Serve the soup hot, and if desired, garnish it with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
