Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup celery, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

6 cups vegetable broth

1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes

1 (12 oz) package refrigerated cheese ravioli

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute.

    Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced carrots and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

      Herbs and Spices: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried basil, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and let the herbs cook for 1-2 minutes.

        Build the Soup Base: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the can of diced tomatoes (with juices) to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

          Cook the Ravioli: Once boiling, add the cheese ravioli to the soup. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the ravioli is cooked through.

            Stir in the Cream and Spinach: Lower the heat, then stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.

              Season to Taste: Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, and top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves, if desired.
