Description
This Ravioli Soup is a hearty, one-pot meal made with cheesy ravioli, savory ground beef, and a rich tomato broth. Quick to make and packed with Italian-inspired flavors, it’s perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 (24 oz) jar marinara or pasta sauce
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (20 oz) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour in the beef broth, marinara sauce, and diced tomatoes. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the cheese ravioli and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until ravioli are cooked through.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with additional parmesan and chopped herbs, if using. Serve hot.
Notes
Refrigerated ravioli cooks quickly and holds up well in soup; frozen ravioli can be used with slight cooking time adjustment.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating as ravioli may absorb liquid.
To make it vegetarian, skip the meat and use vegetable broth with extra vegetables.
For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of heavy cream before serving.
