Ingredients
  

For the Base:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for vegetarian

For the Creamy Element:

  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half/coconut cream for dairy-free
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for dairy-free
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened (or cashew cream cheese/silken tofu)

The Star Components:

  • 9-10 oz cheese ravioli fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 3 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped (plus extra for garnish)

For Finishing:

  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice optional

Instructions
 

Create the Aromatic Base:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Sauté the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft.
  • Add garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Build the Soup Base:

  • Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let flavors meld for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, chop the sun-dried tomatoes.

Add the Creamy Elements:

  • Lower heat and stir in heavy cream.
  • Whisk in softened cream cheese until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly for a smooth texture.
  • Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Cook the Ravioli & Finish the Soup:

  • Add ravioli and cook according to package directions (3-5 minutes for fresh, 7-9 minutes for frozen).
  • Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Let the spinach wilt.
  • Remove from heat and stir in fresh basil and lemon juice (if using).
  • Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve:

  • Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra basil and Parmesan. Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

  • Make it Protein-Packed: Add cooked Italian sausage or shredded chicken.
  • For a Seafood Twist: Add shrimp or scallops in the last few minutes.
  • Make it Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream, cashew cream cheese, and nutritional yeast.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
