Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 (25-ounce) bag frozen cheese ravioli
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for sprinkling

Method
 

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground Italian sausage and diced onion. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the meat is no longer pink and the onion starts to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  2. Add the tomato paste, continue stirring, and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and Italian seasoning; cover and bring to a simmer. Cook uncovered until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the frozen cheese ravioli, heavy cream, and grated parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 more minutes to heat through.

Notes

– Don’t overcook the ravioli: frozen ravioli only needs a few minutes to heat through and become tender. Overcooking will make them mushy.
– For food safety, ensure ground Italian sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
– Make ahead: The base of the soup (without ravioli and cream) can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Add ravioli and cream just before serving.
