Calling all homemade soup fans! Here’s a simple one-pot dinner idea your family will love.
If you’re wondering what to make for dinner this week, look no further than this warm and onlineforting ravioli soup! It has wonderful flavors from the creamy broth, nutritious veggies, and lots of yummy mini cheese ravioli. 😋 And – like most of my recipe ideas, it’s also EASY to throw together any night of the week — hooray!
Hip tips for making Cheese Ravioli Soup:
-
- I am using some mini cheese ravioli I found in the refrigerated foods section of the grocery store, but you could also use frozen ravioli instead.
-
- Not a fan of ravioli? Tortellini would be great in this soup as another pasta base.
-
- This soup as written is meatless, but you can easily add in protein by using meat-filled ravioli or even throw in some cooked shredded chicken at the end.
-
- Another yummy idea would be to cook Italian sausage with the veggies at the beginning resulting in a sausage and ravioli type of soup.
-
- I loved the carrot, celery, and spinach onlinebo here, but you could always change these to other chopped veggies as desired. Try peas, peppers, potatoes, or other veggies you have on hand!

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 a yellow onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves *optional, but add lots of flavor!
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 lb fresh or frozen pre-packaged mini cheese ravioli
- 1 cup half and half, or whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
1
Heat a large pot on the stove to medium heat. Melt butter and sauté chopped onion, celery, and carrots for 5-7 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the mixture. Add the garlic and sauté for about a minute longer. Also add in the fresh thyme, if using.

Stir in the flour using a whisk. It will look thick and clumpy. Slowly whisk in the broth. Bring up the heat a bit to a boil. Add in the ravioli and let boil according to package directions, about 8 minutes. Turn down heat to medium/low.
