Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks celery (with leaves), chopped

Soup Base

  • 1 can (28 oz) whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth (Kettle & Fire chicken bone broth recommended)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme

Dairy and Pasta

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 10 oz ravioli

Garnish

  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the Fats: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, celery with leaves, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Sweeten: Stir in the whole peeled tomatoes along with their juices and the brown sugar, blending flavors and balancing acidity.
  4. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat, add the fresh thyme sprig, and let the soup simmer partially covered for 15 to 20 minutes to develop depth of flavor.
  5. Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until creamy.
  6. Finish with Cream and Season: Return the blended soup to the pot. Stir in the heavy cream to add richness, then season the soup with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  7. Cook the Ravioli: Add the ravioli to the soup and cook until they float to the top, indicating they are fully cooked, usually about 3 to 5 minutes depending on the ravioli packaging instructions.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves, a drizzle of cream if desired, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality chicken broth for a deeper flavor; bone broth is recommended.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your preferred sweetness level to balance the tomato acidity.
  • You can use store-bought ravioli or homemade; cheese or meat-filled ravioli both work well.
  • Immersion blender is preferred for ease, but a regular blender can also be used carefully in batches.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and ensure ravioli filling is vegetarian.
  • Leftover soup can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
