Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, diced

1 celery stalk, diced

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 cup heavy cream

1 package (9 oz) fresh cheese ravioli

2 cups baby spinach, chopped

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add Seasonings and Broth: Sprinkle in the dried Italian herbs, stirring to combine. Then, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and the undrained diced tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil.

      Cook the Ravioli: Once boiling, gently add the fresh ravioli to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook according to package instructions (usually around 3-5 minutes).

        Incorporate Cream and Spinach: After the ravioli is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt and the soup to thicken slightly.

          Finish with Cheese: Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your creamy, comforting soup!
