Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to ensuring a smooth cooking process. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Feel free to swap out the spinach for kale if that’s what you have on hand, or try a different type of ravioli for a unique twist.
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the cooking process. Trust me, this is where the magic happens!
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat and add the cheese ravioli. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli is tender.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
Pro tip: Use a good quality chicken broth as it forms the backbone of the soup’s flavor.
