Description
This creamy Tuscan ravioli soup is a one-pot comfort meal that’s hearty, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. With Italian sausage, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan in a silky broth, every spoonful is warm, cozy, and ready in just 35 minutes.
Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
1 cup heavy cream
1 (20-ounce) package cheese ravioli (fresh or refrigerated)
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups fresh spinach
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Garnishes:
Extra Parmesan shavings
Fresh basil or parsley
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add onion and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add ravioli and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer 4–6 minutes until ravioli are tender.
Turn off heat and stir in spinach until wilted. Add Parmesan and stir until melted.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, garnish, and serve warm with crusty bread.
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare the soup base (without ravioli or spinach) and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Add fresh ravioli and spinach when reheating.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days. Ravioli may soften but flavors deepen.
Freezer-Friendly: Freeze base without ravioli/spinach for up to 2 months. Add fresh before serving.
Variations: Swap sausage for chicken or turkey; try mushroom or spinach-ricotta ravioli for a twist.
