Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Ravioli Soup
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and lean ground beef, cooking for about 5 minutes while breaking them into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Once the meats are browned and cooked through, drain any excess fat from the skillet to keep the soup from becoming greasy.
- In the same skillet with the remaining fat, add chopped onions and sauté for about 4 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute, allowing the mixture to become fragrant and flavorful.
- Return the cooked meats to the skillet, then stir in crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Add dried oregano, salt, and pepper, transferring all ingredients into a pot if needed. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently, covered, for 5 minutes to meld the delicious flavors together.
- While the soup simmers, prepare the refrigerated ravioli according to the package instructions, taking them off the heat 1 minute early for the perfect texture. Drain the ravioli, then gently add them to the simmering soup.
- Stir in the heavy cream and add a handful of fresh basil leaves to the soup, letting it simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Ladle the creamy ravioli soup into bowls and finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional basil leaves for an aromatic touch.

Notes
Drain excess fat after cooking meats to keep your soup light and delicious. Cook ravioli 1 minute less than package directions to prevent them from turning mushy. Allow the soup to simmer covered to meld the flavors.
