Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Ravioli Soup
  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of Italian turkey sausage and cook for about 4 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Carefully remove any excess grease from the pot to ensure a lighter broth.
  2. Next, stir in 1 chopped onion into the pot with the browned sausage. Sauté for 4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and softened. Then, add 2 cloves of minced garlic, stirring for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant and golden.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of tomato sauce, along with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon of dried basil. Stir for about 2 minutes over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Add 4 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of Knorr® Granulated Chicken Bouillon to the pot, stirring to dissolve the bouillon. Toss in 1 cup of diced zucchini and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
  5. Gently stir in 12 ounces of four-cheese ravioli. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the ravioli are tender and cooked through.
  6. Mix together 2 tablespoons of softened butter and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour in a small bowl until smooth. Gradually stir this into the soup. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of chopped curly kale. Cook just until heated through, about 1 minute, ensuring the soup doesn’t boil.
  8. Ladle your creamy ravioli soup into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

For optimal flavor and texture, add heavy cream just before serving. The soup reheats beautifully; consider making a double batch for easy lunches or dinners throughout the week.
