Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (9 ounce) package fresh or frozen cheese ravioli
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes with their liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the soup back to a gentle simmer.
  7. Add the ravioli to the pot. Cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until the ravioli float and are cooked through.
  8. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the broth.
  9. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the soup is creamy.
  10. Taste the soup and add salt and black pepper as needed. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • If you use frozen ravioli, you may need to add 2-3 minutes to the cooking time.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the chicken broth with dry white wine, allowing it to simmer for 2 minutes before adding the remaining broth.
  • This soup pairs well with a simple side salad.
