Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the cheese ravioli to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes, until they float to the top.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, chopped spinach, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add cooked chicken or sausage for extra protein and flavor.
