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.

I made this delicious dish yesterday, I used chopped green peppers only, chopped onions,2 garlic cloves and i chopped my zucchini and sauteed it all together, i used diced tomatoes in a can instead of crush tomatoes, i used chicken broth and then i added my frozen raviolis, basil and crush pepper which gave it a twist! I thought maybe i wouldve had left overs lol but my family enjoyed it to the last bit.

Love this! Only change I made was 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes—added lots of zing. I will make this again using tortellini for a change. Used artichoke ravioli and it was excellent.

Very flavorful! I used tortellini because it was what I had. I also used fresh onions and red bell pepper. Instead of zucchini I used frozen broccoli. The soup was so delicious. It was easy and quick to put together. A hearty soup.

This is a good hearty soup. I sautéed fresh onions, peppers and garlic then added the zucchini to soften. I used all broth instead of adding the water and it was very flavorful and thick. Also added frozen peas and carrots. Will definitely make again.

I made this one Sunday after the holidays to bring to work for lunch. I'm not a fan of most "vegetable only" soups bc I'm always left wanting more, but the ravioli took the place of the meat and filled me up ALL day. I added carrots and celery but will skip the celery next time bc it overpowered the other flavors. I think I will use tortellini next time too bc the raviolis were so big and some fell apart while transporting/re-heating.

Very flavourful! A really good hearty meal in a bowl. I used 1/2 c of jarred roasted red bell peppers, 1/4 c of a sweet onion instead of the frozen mix. Picked fresh Cracked Black Pepper & Parmesan Ravioli at store and did not add pepper when making the soup. Did everything else as per recipe and used a mix of basil and marjoram. This was really good and very quick to prepare ... I let it simmer for 30mins before serving. My husband gave this rave reviews and we added it to our list of favourites.
