INGREDIENTS You Need

This Ravioli Soup ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together! Get ready for a taste explosion that’s surprisingly simple. I am telling you that this soup is all that and more!

1 tablespoon olive oil: This is where it all starts, baby!
1 yellow onion, chopped: Adds that essential savory base.
2 cloves garlic, minced: Because garlic makes everything better!
4 cups chicken broth: Use low sodium so you can control the salt.
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes: Adds a little sweetness and texture to your Ravioli Soup.
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce: For that rich tomato flavor we all know and love!
1 teaspoon dried oregano: Adds an earthy, warm note.
1/2 teaspoon dried basil: For that touch of Italian magic.
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes: For a little kick.
Salt and pepper to taste: Seasoning is key!
20 ounces refrigerated cheese ravioli: You can grab this during your normal shopping trip!
1 cup chopped fresh spinach: Adds freshness and nutrients.
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For topping, because cheese makes everything better.
Optional: fresh basil leaves, for garnish: Because why not make it pretty?

No worries if you don’t have fresh spinach – I use frozen spinach all the time in my Ravioli Soup. I love adding extra red pepper flakes to my Ravioli Soup for an extra kick. Just toss it in and let the magic happen!

Here’s my Ravioli Soup secret that takes it from good to incredible: a pinch of sugar. It balances the acidity of the tomatoes and brings out all the flavors! Store any unused ingredients in airtight containers in your pantry and fridge to keep them fresh.

Let’s Make Some!

This is my favorite part of making Ravioli Soup – watch the magic happen! Follow these easy steps, and you’ll have a bowl of deliciousness in no time.

Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. This is where the magic starts happening!
Add the tomato base: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir well to combine. This Ravioli Soup should smell absolutely incredible right now!
Season the broth: Add the chicken broth, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and bring to a simmer. In my kitchen, this Ravioli Soup usually takes about 10 minutes to simmer.
Cook the ravioli: Gently add the refrigerated cheese ravioli to the simmering soup. Cook according to the package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli are tender and cooked through. Be gentle so the ravioli don’t break!
Add the greens: Stir in the chopped fresh spinach during the last minute of cooking, until it wilts. Don’t worry if your Ravioli Soup looks a little thick; the spinach will help balance it out.
Serve and garnish: Ladle the Ravioli Soup into bowls. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired. Now, stand back and wait for the happy faces!

While your Ravioli Soup is doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas! This is seriously the easiest and most satisfying soup ever. I swear that my friends love this soup.
