IC Ravioli Soup

In the fall and winter I make soup at least once a week. I have a few amazing recipes in my arsenal that my family love. This ravioli soup recipe is probably my favorite. I call it a freezer meal. 

I love Italian food and this hearty soup is awesome to make in the crock pot and is also a perfect freezer meal. Yes I said crock pot freezer meal, two words I love to hear! 

I usually make a double batch of this and freeze some of it for meals to give to families in need, or for our family at a later date.

Ravioli Soup Ingredients – Serves 6

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion salt
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion
  • 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes in puree

How to make it

1.  In your crockpot, add all the ingredients except the ground beef and raviolis. 

Make sure you chop up your onions fine, especially if you have picky kids.

4.  Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.

If you are freezing it then let it cool and then ladle it into freezer containers. 

Do not cook raviolis if you are freezing it.

5.  If you are eating it right away, boil the raviolis you need according to package instructions. 

Drain and toss them into the crockpot and serve.
