Ol-blue's Sausage And Ravioli Soup

Ol-blue · 04-20-2008, 01:10 PM

My son helped me put this soup together. He told me what he wanted in the soup and we made it together. If the soup thickens up overnight in the refridgerator, just thin it out with more beef base and water.
Enjoy! Debbie

Going to try it Ol' Blue! Something I would never do on my own, never heard of putting ravioli in soup, but it sure looks good. How did your son like it? will let you know how the group here thinks of it.

thanks for sharing your recipes with us.

I never thought of adding ravioli to soup either until my son bought some soup with some in it at a local grocery store. I have made this 3 times now so I think my son loves it. My last batch, I did break up the ravioli into smaller bite size pieces while it was cooking and it did thicken the soup up more.
