Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
4 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese ravioli
3 cups fresh spinach
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes (with their juice). Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese until the cheeses are melted and the broth is smooth.
Add the refrigerated ravioli to the simmering broth. Cook according to the package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the ravioli float and are tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey or ground beef for the Italian sausage if you prefer.
