Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 Celery stalks, sliced
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 10 ounces Cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach (optional)
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0 to taste Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
• 0 to taste Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving behind the drippings.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (including their juice), and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Season the mixture with Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the ravioli to the pot and simmer according to the package instructions, usually 3-5 minutes, or until the ravioli are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

If using fresh spinach, stir it into the soup during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to wilt.

Step 9

Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir to combine. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
