Creamy Ravioli Soup
The following recipe, video and photography were provided by our partner, Alissa DiSanto of Sauced By Sunday.
Ravioli is delicious with sauce, but have you tried it in soup? If not, this 30-minute, weeknight friendly dish is a must-make on a chilly night.
Swimming with fresh Italian sausage, a bounty of veggies and a slew of spices, the real star of this soup is Heinen’s fresh four cheese ravioli. Located in the refrigerated deli case, the cheesy inner filling adds rich heartiness to the tomato-based, cream-infused broth.
If you love noodles in your soup, this new spin will have you coming back for another bowl.
