Fresh or frozen ravioli cook in minutes and turn this light vegetable soup into a main course. Look for whole-wheat or whole-grain ravioli in the refrigerated or frozen section of the supermarket. Serve this healthy ravioli soup with a side salad.

How to Store Ravioli Soup

Cover and refrigerate the soup for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave or reheat in a saucepan over low heat until heated through. You may need to thin the soup with more broth to reach the desired consistency.

Can I Use a Different Pasta?

We use cheese ravioli in this soup recipe to keep it vegetarian, but you can also use a meat-filled ravioli. Or, swap the ravioli entirely and use fresh cheese- or meat-filled tortellini instead. Tortellini are more delicate than ravioli, so be sure to stir gently to avoid breaking them apart.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
