Step 1: Build Your Flavor Base

  • Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
  • Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 2: Create the Creamy Broth

  • Optional: Whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl, then stir into the broth.
  • Simmer on medium-low for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Add the Ravioli and Spinach

  • Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the ravioli and cook according to package instructions (3-4 minutes).
  • Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
  • Remove the bay leaf and stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

  • Ladle the soup into bowls.
  • Drizzle with heavy cream, sprinkle Parmesan, and top with fresh herbs.
  • Enjoy with crusty bread!

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Use vegetable broth and opt for spinach or mushroom ravioli.
  • Lighter Version: Substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Extra Thick Soup: Use the cornstarch slurry for a thicker texture.
  • Add Protein: Browned Italian sausage or cooked chicken pairs perfectly.
