Ravioli Soup

Jump to Recipe

The days are getting shorter and cooler – which means soup season is upon us! This Ravioli Soup is seriously so easy to make and so hearty – you are gonna be making it all the way through to winter. This is one of those “semi-homemade” sorts of meals as it does call for premade ravioli – but if you are so inclined, you could certainly make your own ravioli. That just tends to take a little more time than most have on a weeknight!

Ravioli Soup

I like to use half hot and half sweet Italian Sausage but too much of either is — well — too much! You can use what every combination you like – just make sure it is NOT breakfast sausage. The big difference it breakfast sausage usually has sage and/or thyme as apposed to the basil, fennel and oregano that you find in Italian sausage. Also make sure it is the ground sausage and not in links or casings. If you can’t find any not in a casing, you can cut them open and squeeze the meat out.

Ravioli Soup

This soup is really filling since it is creamy style, so you don’t particularly need a side dish. I did serve it with some sliced sourdough – which is so good for sopping up the yummy soup.
