Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.75 cup small pasta (e.g., ditalini or elbow pasta)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
