  • 1 large carrot, sliced into coins

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 pound ground turkey (or Italian sausage)

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Soup Base

  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (20 ounces) fresh cheese ravioli
  • 6 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cups half and half (or heavy cream)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil and butter in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onions and carrot slices, cooking for about 3 minutes until softened.
  2. Cook Meat: Add ground turkey to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain grease if necessary.
  3. Add Aromatics and Herbs: Stir in minced garlic, dried basil, and dried oregano, cooking for 2 minutes to release their flavors.
  4. Simmer Soup Base: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Cook Ravioli: Add the fresh cheese ravioli to the boiling soup. Cook for about 6 minutes or until ravioli are tender.
  6. Add Greens: Stir in fresh baby spinach and cook for 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts.
  7. Add Cream and Cheese: Slowly stir in half and half or heavy cream. Return soup to a gentle simmer, then stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve: Ladle the creamy ravioli soup into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese as desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with Italian sausage for a richer flavor.
  • Fresh cheese ravioli can be replaced with frozen ravioli; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut cream instead of half and half and omit Parmesan cheese.
  • Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley as garnish enhances freshness.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
