Ingredients
-
8 oz Italian sausage
-
8 oz lean ground beef
-
2 Tbsp olive oil
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
28 oz can crushed tomatoes
-
6 cups beef broth
-
1 Tbsp dried oregano
-
20 oz refrigerated four-cheese ravioli
-
Fresh basil, chopped
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1 cup heavy cream
Toppings:
-
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
-
Additional chopped basil
Instructions
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef for about 5 minutes, breaking into small pieces. Drain and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, heat olive oil. Sauté chopped onion for 4 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
-
Return meat to the skillet. Stir in crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cook the ravioli separately according to package directions, shaving off 1 minute for al dente. Drain and add to the soup.
-
Pour in heavy cream and stir in chopped basil. Simmer gently for 1–2 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
-
Ladle soup into bowls. Top with Parmesan cheese and extra basil. Serve warm.
Notes
Slightly undercooking the ravioli prevents them from becoming mushy.
Use spicy sausage for added heat or skip beef for a lighter soup.
Soup tastes even better the next day as flavors develop.
Freeze the broth without ravioli to prevent mushiness; add fresh ravioli when reheating.
