Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casing removed

1 small onion, diced

34 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 package (about 20 oz) cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)

½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

3 cups baby spinach

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Sausage

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and break it apart with a spoon. Cook for 5–7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics

Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Add Liquids and Simmer

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for 5–7 minutes to blend flavors.

Step 4: Add Ravioli and Tomatoes

Stir in cheese ravioli and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 5–6 minutes (or according to package instructions) until ravioli are tender.

Step 5: Finish with Spinach and Cheese

Turn off heat and stir in spinach until wilted. Add grated Parmesan and mix until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Serve

Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or a fresh salad.

Notes

Add ravioli toward the end to prevent overcooking.

Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and enhances flavor.

The soup thickens as it rests; add extra broth before serving if needed.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
