Main Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy), casing removed
1 small onion, diced
3–4 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
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.
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.
