Creamy Beef Ravioli Soup

Soup! It’s soup time. Someone asked me in Instagram the other day when you all were getting a new soup. Well guess what, Chachi.

It’s criminally simple. But as always, packs a punch that will have all the oooohs and aaaaahs seeping out everywhere. (that sounded weird, sorry.)

We do take a shortcut with frozen ravioli. Which is perfectly fine. And you know what, use whatever ravioli you dig! Not into beef? A-okay. Go with cheese or even mushroom. This creamy situation works with anything.

Let’s start building.

What makes me laugh is this is the only process photograph I took. Totally spaced on the rest. Ha! And I’m leaving it here because it makes me giggle. Carrots, onions and garlic, babe! We’ll dice and sauté like we do. A good pinch of salt and all is well.

After that we’ll add two cans of fire-roasted tomatoes, a bunch of stock and cream (!) and let it come to a light boil. Then violently throw in your ravioli and let it simmer for a few minutes, so that the ravs plump and soften. (again, sorry I said it like that.)

Add a lot of kale which makes it a salad.

And this is what you get.

Lemon juice, parmesan, crushed red pep, ugh. It’s perfect. The savory ravioli adds so much comfort, the creaminess adds depth, the veggies and kale for hayelth, and the fire-roasted tomatoes for richness. You’ll cry.

Serve with a mound of fresh crusty bread and a crisp white wine.

Oh! Add lemon juice right at the end – you know how it wakes it all up. We want this. Bad. Badly. Ril bad.

Does this look like your weekend or this week or tonight or now? I thought so.

Sa-lurp.

    Ooooh, I have some cheese ravioli or tortellini in the freezer taking up too much space. I need to go see if my kale is still good. If so, I know what's for dinner tomorrow! Thanks! Ooh, ooh, we even have some frozen cooked Italian sausage stashed for pizza, and could throw some of that in.

    Omit cream or what to use instead.

      If it's a dairy thing than you could use a plant-based cream! If you don't like cream then just omit it. Or a milk is fine. Just depends on the reason for no cream!
