- 2 cups fresh spinach (optional for spinach ravioli soup)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (for creaminess)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: dice the onion, mince the garlic, and prepare the sausage or ground beef. Keep ravioli ready if frozen.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

- Pour in chicken broth and add diced tomatoes with juice. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add ravioli to the simmering soup and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender. If using spinach ravioli, toss in fresh spinach during the last two minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream or milk for a creamy texture, and cook for another minute. Adjust seasonings if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy this easy, flavorful soup.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen cheese or spinach ravioli for best flavor and texture.
- For a crockpot version, cook browned sausage, tomatoes, and broth on low for several hours, then add ravioli in the last 20 minutes.
- Add extra vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for more nutrition.
- Adjust spice level by increasing red pepper flakes or adding hot sauce.
