Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (24 ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), chopped sun-dried tomatoes, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the refrigerated cheese ravioli to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the ravioli float and are tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely, about 1 minute.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy and heated through. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  8. Serve your easy ravioli soup immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef or ground turkey for the Italian sausage if you prefer a different meat flavor.
  • For a vegetarian ravioli soup, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth, adding extra herbs for depth.
  • If you do not have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry.
  • This recipe makes a hearty pasta soup, but if you prefer a thinner consistency, add up to 1/2 cup more chicken broth.
