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. Tortellini can be used instead of ravioli as well. Recipe by Nancy Baggett for EatingWell.

This has become my go to meal for busy nights. It's fast, it's easy, and I don't have to beg the child to eat. We've tried several varieties of filled pasta with success. Served with a cheese topped baguette slice makes it seem indulgent. When the garden is overflowing with basil, I'll add a little bit of fresh basil right at the end. Otherwise, this is a recipe that needs practically no adjustment.

I made homemade ravioli with light ricotta and grilled zucchini as a filling. This dish is a must have if you're on a diet

I'm not a big fan of tomato-based soups, but this one was quite tasty. I had a 900ml carton of chicken broth, so I just used all of that instead of adding the water. I used fresh peppers and I used a leek that I needed to use up rather than an onion. I used roasted cauliflower ravioli from the supermarket. It was a hit with the whole family.

This soup is ALL the good!!!! Very filling, very delicious! The first time I made it, I thought it might be okay - and then I tasted it! KILLER!!!! I substitute 4 cups of water, with powdered chicken flavor bouillion, 1 tsp. per cup. I also use fresh pepper and onion, and add green beans. Thank you, Eating Well!!!

This was surprisingly good with almost no changes. I just added a small can of chopped fire roasted tomatoes and a bit of extra liquid. I also followed the advise of others and cooked the ravioli separately. I have leftovers for tomorrow and I will refrigerate the soup separately from the ravioli. Yummy and easy. Can't wait for lunch tomorrow.
