Do you have a favorite soup? I’m always down with a soup that has some kind of carby element. Pasta, rice, potatoes, I’m not picky. So this Minestrone Soup with Cheese Ravioli is obviously right up my alley. I’m hoping you guys feel the same way.

Updating a Classic

I love a classic minestrone soup but you know what I love even more? A minestrone soup that has a ridiculous amount of tender, cheesy ravioli floating around in it. 

This tasty soup has all the elements of a traditional minestrone – a tomatoey broth, vegetables, kidney beans and pasta. I just updated the traditional ditalini pasta with cheese ravioli. It’s kind of a major upgrade and I’m here for it.

I prefer the fresh ravioli you can find near the dairy or meat section of your grocery store for this recipe. They are quick cooking and result in the perfect al dente texture. If you can’t find fresh, frozen will totally work too.

Another 30 Minute Wonder

If you’ve been around for a while, you know I’m all about a 30 minute dinner. We don’t need more craziness on a weeknight. This minestrone soup is another option to add to your weeknight arsenal. 

Extra bonus: it tastes like it’s been simmering all day long. Nobody has to know otherwise so keep that little tid bit to yourself.

Meatless Monday Must

I’ve been trying to make more meatless meals in our home for a variety of reasons but some of the “complaints” I get are that they may not be as filling. That is not something you have to worry about with this soup. 

The cheesy ravioli make this minestrone soup super hearty along with the kidney beans and veggies. You honestly won’t even miss the meat on this one.

So whether you’re a vegetarian or just trying to reduce your meat consumption, this soup is definitely for you.

You could add shredded chicken or ground beef to this soup if you want some added bulk but I really don’t think it is necessary. 

This soup is a great way to use up the last bits of veggies in your crisper. Oh, and all that tomato broth goodness? You definitely need a roll for dunking and sopping it up.
