On chilly evenings, my grandmother would simmer a pot of hearty soup that made the whole house smell like love. Inspired by those cozy memories, I created this Creamy Tuscan Ravioli Soup — it’s rich, warming, and soul-soothing. Perfect for family dinners or quiet nights in. Save this recipe and treat yourself to a little hug in a bowl tonight! ❤️
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 package (about 9 oz) refrigerated cheese ravioli
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes).
Stir in the heavy cream and spinach. Simmer until spinach is wilted.
Finish with Parmesan cheese, stir well, and serve hot.
Garnish with fresh basil if you like!
Choose Fresh Ravioli:
Fresh or refrigerated ravioli cook faster and taste more homemade compared to frozen ones.
Boost the Flavor:
Add a splash of white wine after sautéing the onions and garlic for an even deeper flavor.
Make It Lighter:
Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or a splash of milk if you want a lighter version without losing creaminess.
Protein Boost:
Stir in cooked shredded chicken, turkey, or even sausage if you want a heartier, protein-rich soup.
Vegetable Power:
Add mushrooms, zucchini, or kale along with the spinach for extra veggies and nutrition.
