I love this hearty and flavorful Italian Sausage and Ravioli Soup soup during the cold winter months.  It’s the perfect bowl of comfort food.  Nothing is better than a hot pot of soup and warm bread on a cold winter day.  

I originally got this amazing recipe from my mother-in-law, but it was prepared with tortellini pasta instead of ravioli.  My friend, Elizabeth, in Ohio also brought this soup, using tortellini, to our recipe club for Italian night.  It’s delicious and I wanted to make sure and share it with all my foodie peeps.  

I have made a few changes from the original recipe to make it my own and feel free to make substitutions to suit your taste buds.  Using ravioli with a variety of complimentary fillings is a fun way to change it up.  Enjoy!!
