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 broth (or chicken broth)

1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, with juices

1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half

1 package (9 oz) cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.

    Add Herbs and Broth: Sprinkle in the dried Italian herbs, mixing well with the vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth and the canned diced tomatoes, including their juices. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

      Incorporate Cream and Ravioli: Once the soup is simmering, lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the cheese ravioli to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions until the ravioli are tender, usually around 5-7 minutes for fresh ravioli, or 8-10 minutes for frozen ravioli.

        Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes. Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.

          Serve and Garnish: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls, topping each serving with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy your comforting bowl of Creamy Tuscan Ravioli Soup!
