A comforting and flavorful soup featuring Italian sausage, ground beef, and creamy cheese ravioli, perfect for cozy family dinners.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Italian sausage (crumbled)
  • 8 oz lean ground beef
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 20 oz refrigerated cheese ravioli (four-cheese recommended)
  • Salt & pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Fresh basil (for garnish)
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the meats: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the crumbled Italian sausage and lean ground beef. Cook for about 5 minutes, breaking the meat into smaller pieces until browned and fragrant. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  2. Sauté the vegetables: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet, and toss in the chopped onion. Sauté for around 4 minutes until it turns tender and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Simmer the broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Increase the heat to high, bringing the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the ravioli: Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese ravioli according to package directions until al dente, typically about 1 minute less than the recommended time. Drain and set aside.
  5. Finish the soup: Gently pour in the heavy cream and add a handful of fresh basil to the soup. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.
  6. Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has plenty of ravioli. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and additional chopped basil for a burst of flavor and color.
