Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Aromatics
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- ½ pound ground beef
- ½ pound ground Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Seasonings and Sauces
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
- 4 cups (32 ounces) beef broth
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
Pasta and Cheese
- 1 bag (25 ounces) frozen cheese ravioli
- ½ cup (119 g) heavy cream
- 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (40 g) romano cheese, shredded
- ½ cup (50 g) parmesan cheese, shredded, plus more for garnish
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil and cook meat and aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. When hot, add diced onions, ground beef, Italian sausage, and minced garlic. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat until it loses its pink color. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Season the mixture: Add Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the cooked meat mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Add liquids and bring to a simmer: Pour in the marinara sauce, beef broth, and crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
- Cook the ravioli: Once the soup is simmering, add the frozen cheese ravioli. Cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring gently occasionally to prevent the ravioli from sticking or breaking, until the ravioli are tender and cooked through.
- Incorporate cheeses and cream: Lower the heat to low and add the heavy cream, shredded mozzarella, romano, and parmesan cheeses. Stir continuously until all cheeses have melted completely and the soup is creamy.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the soup from heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional parmesan cheese as desired. Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful ravioli soup!
