Chicken Sausage Veggie And Ravioli Soup Recipes

RAVIOLI WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE AND KALE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Move to one side of the skillet and add the onion to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Stir together with the sausages and cook until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and garlic; cook until the tomatoes brown and soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Transfer to the skillet with the sausage mixture using a slotted spoon; reserve the cooking water. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the ravioli and stir well, then add 1/2 cup cooking water and the butter. Cook, tossing, until the ravioli are well coated and saucy, adding up to 1/2 cup more pasta water as needed. Stir in the kale to wilt, then remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, basil and parsley; toss to combine.
• Divide the ravioli among bowls; top with more Parmesan and season with pepper.

EASY ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP WITH CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a large soup pot put the olive oil and onion. Stir-fry over medium heat for 6-7 minutes.
• If the sausage is in casings, remove the casings. Add the sausage to the diced onion and break up the meat into small pieces, cooking until browned.
• Add the minced garlic and cook one minute.
• Add the diced tomatoes and cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and black pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce heat and cook for about 15 minutes.
• Add the cheese ravioli and cook until just tender, no more than 3 minutes.
• Turn off heat and add the spinach leaves.
• Serve the Parmesan cheese as a garnish.
• Notes: 1. Substitute the fresh tomatoes with canned diced, canned crushed, or even tomato sauce. 2. If you don't like spinach, you may use carrots and peas or other desired vegetables, or omit entirely. 3. If you don't have cheese ravioli, use regular dried pasta, just cook it longer. Orzo pasta works great.
