Ravioli Lasagna Soup
To make Ravioli Lasagna Soup, build the aromatics first, simmer beef ravioli, tomato, and ricotta in broth until the pot tastes settled, and finish with the right bright or creamy note. This works because the broth gets built in layers instead of asking hot water to do miracles.
This ravioli lasagna soup simmers beef ravioli, tomato, and ricotta together in a broth that tastes like lasagna without any of the layering. It's comfort food you eat with a spoon.
It's a good weeknight meal that's faster than building an actual lasagna. Add a dollop of ricotta on top right before serving for the full effect.
