Ravioli Soup

Hey there, fellow flavor seekers! I’m River Quinn from Aunty Spices, and I’m so excited to share one of my family’s absolute favorite comfort meals with you: Ravioli Soup! This isn’t just any soup; it’s a warm hug in a bowl, packed with authentic flavors that bring everyone to the table with smiles.

I remember the first time I made this Ravioli Soup. My youngest, Leo, who can be a bit picky, devoured two bowls and asked for more the next day. It was then I knew I had struck gold! It’s that simple, satisfying, and oh-so-flavorful.

It’s a dish that brings everyone together, no matter what. The hearty broth, tender ravioli, and burst of fresh herbs create a symphony of flavors that’s simply irresistible.

This recipe is for all of you who believe that creating delicious, authentic meals for your family doesn’t have to be complicated. Join me in this kitchen adventure, and let’s create some unforgettable flavors together! 🌿

Here’s what you’ll need to create this magic in your own kitchen. Remember, quality ingredients make all the difference in achieving that authentic flavor we’re after in our Ravioli Soup.

• 1 tablespoon olive oil: A good quality olive oil sets the base for our flavors.
• 1 small onion, chopped: Adds a sweet and savory foundation. You’ll find the freshest ingredients for this Ravioli Soup at your local farmers market.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced: Garlic is a must for that aromatic punch.
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes: I prefer crushed tomatoes for their texture, but you can also use diced tomatoes.
• 4 cups chicken broth: Use a good quality broth for the best flavor.
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce: This adds richness and depth to the soup.
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano: For that classic Italian flavor.
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil: Basil complements the tomato beautifully.
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes: Add a pinch for a subtle kick.
• Salt and pepper to taste: Season generously!
• 1 (9-12 ounce) package of cheese ravioli: Fresh or frozen, both work great. This Ravioli Soup proves that authentic flavor comes from thoughtful ingredient choices.
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped: Adds a boost of nutrients and color.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For topping.
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish: Because presentation matters!

For the best flavor in your Ravioli Soup, I recommend sourcing your herbs from a local garden if possible. Fresh herbs make a HUGE difference!

My family loves when I add a dollop of ricotta cheese on top of our Ravioli Soup. It adds a creamy, delicious touch!

Alright, let’s get cooking! This Ravioli Soup Recipe is so simple, you’ll be amazed at how quickly it comes together. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a pot of deliciousness ready in no time. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to make this delicious Ravioli Soup.

1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Perfect time to appreciate the aromatic transformation!
2. Add the Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Season the Soup: Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer. Here’s where I used to miss a key step with my Ravioli Soup – learn from my experience!
4. Simmer for Flavor: Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for at least 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. This flavorful Ravioli Soup typically takes about 30 minutes in my kitchen, from start to finish!
5. Add the Ravioli: Gently stir in the cheese ravioli. If using frozen ravioli, add them directly to the soup. Your Ravioli Soup should fill the kitchen with amazing aromas by now.
6. Cook the Ravioli: Cook according to the package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli are tender and heated through.
7. Add the Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach during the last minute of cooking. It will wilt quickly. Don’t be surprised if your Ravioli Soup develops a vibrant color.
8. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the Easy Ravioli Soup into bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. While your Ravioli Soup is developing these flavors, take a moment to appreciate creating something special for your family!
