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.
