A hearty and delicious recipe for Italian Sausage Soup made with Italian sausage, fresh ravioli pasta, vegetables, and seasonings. I always have requests for this recipe when I serve it!
I love this hearty and flavorful Italian 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 crusty 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. I have made a few changes from the original recipe to make it my own. Feel free to make substitutions to suit your taste buds. Using ravioli with a variety of complimentary fillings is a fun way to switch it up. Either way, it's incredibly delicious!!
How To Make Italian Sausage Soup with Pasta
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 3 links of sweet Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cartons beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (I don't recommend that you cook with a wine that you wouldn't drink)
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
- 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 3 shredded carrots
- 2 zucchini, cut into small chunks
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, stems removed
- 1 tsp dried basil or 4 large fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1 (9 oz) container Buitoni (regular or whole wheat) four-cheese ravioli, in the refrigerated section
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Directions:
Brown sausage in a large pot ( I love my enameled cast iron dutch oven for this-it is great for soups and braising foods.) Remove sausage from pot and set aside. Add olive oil to the pan and sauté onion and garlic until tender but not browned. Add beef broth, wine, sugar, tomatoes, carrots, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, zucchini, bell pepper, and sausage. Boil then reduce to simmer (low heat) for 40 minutes. Stir in ravioli and simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted. Turn off heat and ladle into bowls. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve with crusty garlic bread for dipping.
A few more favorite soups to try are lightened-up slow cooker potato soup, Southern ham vegetable soup, and Cajun fish soup.

This looks similar to my cheese tortellini soup. I didn't know Buitoni made whole wheat pasta. I make mine with turkey sausage and it tastes great. This is intriguing because of the spinach and some other different ingredients. I will have to try
