• 1 tablespoon olive oil: Don’t skimp on the good stuff! Extra virgin olive oil adds a subtle richness that you just can’t beat.
• 1 medium onion, chopped: Yellow or white onion works perfectly! The foundation of this Ravioli Soup recipe.
• 2 cloves garlic, minced: Freshly minced garlic is a MUST. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes: The secret here is using good quality crushed tomatoes. It’s the base of our Tomato Ravioli Soup.
• 4 cups vegetable broth: I prefer low-sodium broth so I can control the salt levels myself.
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano: Adds a touch of earthy flavor.
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil: A classic Italian herb that complements the tomatoes beautifully.
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes: For a little kick! Adjust to your liking, you flavor adventurer.
• Salt and pepper to taste: Season generously!
• 1 (20 ounce) package frozen cheese ravioli: The star of the show! You can also use fresh cheese ravioli soup if you’re feeling fancy.
• 1/2 cup heavy cream: This is where the magic happens! It adds a creamy richness that’s absolutely divine. The creamy flavor is perfect in Homemade Ravioli Soup.
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese: For garnish, of course! Because what’s Ravioli Soup without Parmesan cheese?

The secret to truly epic Ravioli Soup is using high-quality crushed tomatoes. You’ll find the best canned tomatoes at your local Italian specialty store or even online. You might be thinking, “Can I get away with cheaper ones?” And yes, you can, but it won’t have the same level of flavor. Splurge on this one ingredient – trust me, your Ravioli Soup will thank you. Plus, don’t forget to taste and adjust the seasonings as you go. A pinch more salt, a dash of pepper – it’s all about making it your own. I also like adding a pinch of sugar if the tomatoes are a little too acidic. This Ravioli Soup ingredient list is short but mighty!

1. 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. Don’t stress – your Ravioli Soup is going to be incredible.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. This is where your kitchen starts to smell like pure heaven!
3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Pro tip for Ravioli Soup perfection: Taste and adjust the seasonings now, before adding the ravioli. This is your chance to make it perfect.
4. Gently add the frozen cheese ravioli to the pot. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli are tender and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the Ravioli Soup! Nobody wants mushy ravioli.
5. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through. Do not let it boil! We just want to warm it up and make the Ravioli Soup extra creamy.
6. Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves. This is where your Ravioli Soup transforms into pure magic.

Here’s where most people mess up their Easy Ravioli Soup – they overcrowd the pot. If you’re making a big batch, cook the ravioli in batches to avoid sticking and ensure they cook evenly.

Q: Can I make this Ravioli Soup spicier?

A: Absolutely! Add more red pepper flakes to taste. You can also use a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick. Another flavor bomb move would be to use spicy sausage!

Q: What if I don’t have vegetable broth?

A: Chicken broth or beef broth will work just fine! Just be aware that it will change the flavor slightly. I’ve even used water in a pinch, but the flavor won’t be as rich.

Q: Can I use a different kind of ravioli?

A: Of course! Cheese ravioli is a classic, but you can use meat ravioli, spinach ravioli, or any other kind you like. You can even use tortellini for a fun twist. The fun thing about Easy Ravioli Soup is you can always change it up!

Q: How do I know when my Ravioli Soup is perfectly done?

A: The ravioli should be tender and cooked through, but not mushy. Taste one to be sure. The broth should be heated through and the flavors should be well-blended. If you’re unsure, cook the ravioli al dente!

Q: Can I make this Ravioli Soup ahead of time?

A: Yes, you can! Just keep in mind that the ravioli will continue to absorb the broth as it sits. You may need to add a little extra broth when reheating. This applies to Tomato Ravioli Soup as well!

Q: What’s the best way to store leftovers?

A: Store the Ravioli Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Q: Can I freeze this Ravioli Soup?

A: I don’t recommend freezing it, as the ravioli can become mushy when thawed. However, if you’re determined to freeze it, undercook the ravioli slightly before freezing. I would recommend freezing the Homemade Ravioli Soup without the ravioli.
