Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casing removed
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package (about 20 oz) cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and break it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add Liquids and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Add Ravioli and Tomatoes: Stir in the ravioli and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 5–6 minutes (or according to the package instructions), until the ravioli is cooked through and tender.
  5. Finish with Spinach and Cheese: Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach until wilted. Add the grated Parmesan and stir until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve hot with crusty bread or salad.

Notes

  • You can use either fresh or frozen cheese ravioli based on availability.
  • Adjust the level of spice by omitting or adding more crushed red pepper flakes.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk but the soup will be less creamy.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking ravioli.
  • Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley at the end brightens the flavor.
