The Story & Intro
Bonjour my friends! 👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
I still remember the very first chilly evening I made creamy ravioli soup. The windows were foggy, my socks didn’t match, and I needed something warm, fast, and comforting the kind of meal that hugs you from the inside. I opened my fridge, spotted a pack of cheese ravioli, and thought, why not turn this into soup? That night, this creamy ravioli soup became an instant love story.
Growing up, soups were always a sign of care. If you were tired, sick, or just needed comfort, someone put a pot on the stove. This creamy ravioli soup brings that same feeling, but with a little French-American twist. It’s rich without being heavy, cozy without being boring, and fancy enough to impress yet easy enough for a weeknight dinner.
I’ve made this creamy ravioli soup for friends who “don’t really like soup,” and somehow the bowls always come back empty. There’s something magical about tender ravioli swimming in a creamy, flavorful broth. It feels indulgent but still simple just the way I like my cooking.
If you’re craving comfort, warmth, and a little joy in a bowl, this creamy ravioli soup is waiting for you 💛

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Build the flavor
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and let it bloom your kitchen will smell incredible already.
Step 2: Season gently
Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Stir for about 30 seconds to wake up the spices without burning them.
Step 3: Create the broth
Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir well, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Make it creamy
Lower the heat and slowly stir in the heavy cream. This is where the soup turns silky and luxurious. Taste and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5: Add the ravioli
Drop the ravioli straight into the soup. Let them cook gently until tender usually 3–5 minutes for fresh ravioli, a bit longer for frozen.
Step 6: Finish with greens
Stir in fresh spinach and let it wilt into the soup. Turn off the heat and admire how cozy it looks.
Step 7: Serve with love
Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan and fresh herbs. Serve immediately while it’s warm and comforting.
