A phrase is defined as a group of words that occur together in sentence and does not contain the subject or the verb. Thus a phrase can never consist of one word as it is always formed by joining two or more words together.
The shortest a phrase can be is of two words but phrase is never one word.
Example:
I want two scoops of chocolate ice cream.
I want chocolate ice cream.
Two scoops of chocolate ice cream is an example of a long phrase and chocolate ice cream is an example of short phrase.
Examples of two word phrases:
Good bye
Good night
Never mind
