Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 stalks celery (with leaves), chopped

1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes

1½ cups chicken broth (or chicken bone broth)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 sprig fresh thyme

½ cup heavy cream

10 oz cheese ravioli (fresh or frozen)

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

Sauté Veggies:
In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery (with leaves), and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.

Add Tomatoes & Simmer:
Stir in whole peeled tomatoes and brown sugar. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add fresh thyme and reduce heat. Simmer partially covered for 15–20 minutes.

Blend the Soup:
Remove thyme sprig. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth (or blend in batches in a regular blender).

Finish the Soup:
Return the soup to the pot. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook Ravioli:
Add ravioli to the soup and cook according to package instructions, until they float to the top and are tender.

Serve:
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil, a swirl of cream, and cracked black pepper if desired.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Ravioli Tips: Fresh cooks faster than frozen—adjust time accordingly.

Add Protein: Stir in cooked Italian sausage or shredded chicken for a heartier meal.

Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid breaking the ravioli.
