In theory I suppose you could but the fiber, vitamins, minerals, and satiety that comes from about 12oz of broccoli would have to come from about 2-3 different supplements and would either not fill you up the same or have loads of needless calories.
Also, when taking a cocktail of vitamins certain ones actually inhibit the absorbtion of others. This is why you should always vary your meals and include all macronutrient groups with each one.

If you use only supplements, where are you going to get your energy and body building blocks from?
Food helps to keep us satisfied too. For most of us, it is a joy to eat.

You’ve hit the proverbial nail on the head. We need MORE than just nutrients from our food. Our bodies are intended to work with solids, and if it doesn’t have them, the gastro-intestinal tract begins to have problems. The fibers and “bulk” of foods are important for that portion of our bodies to function properly; this is especially true because it enables our bodies to absorb nutrients gradually, rather than all in one moment.
