Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 pound frozen cheese ravioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Once the broth is simmering, add the frozen cheese ravioli to the pot.
- Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook the ravioli according to package instructions, typically 4-6 minutes, until tender.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream until well incorporated.
- Add the chopped spinach to the pot and allow it to wilt into the soup for about 1-2 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, topping with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth and add more vegetables like zucchini or carrots.
- To reheat leftovers, warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding more broth or cream to restore creaminess.
- Fresh ravioli can be used; adjust cooking time based on package directions.
- Ensure ravioli and broth are gluten-free for a gluten-free version.
- The recipe can be doubled, using a pot large enough for the increased volume.
