Broccoli florets, steamed
 1.       Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté til tender. Add potatoes, chicken brother, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes (or until potatoes are tender). 
2.       Meanwhile, steam broccoli
