Stir gently to prevent curdling. Keep the heat low.

Want To Make Tuscan Ravioli Soup With Italian Sausage?

To capture that extra flavor for Tuscan ravioli soup with Italian sausage, here’s how:

Brown ½–1 pound Italian sausage before sautéing the onions. Remove excess grease, then continue the recipe as written.

Make It Even Creamier

If you prefer a more traditional creamy Tuscan ravioli soup, you can add:

• ¼ cup heavy cream
• Or 2 oz cream cheese

But honestly, the blended yogurt or cottage cheese gives it that silky finish without needing extra cream.

Meal Prep & Storage

This soup stores beautifully.

Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days.

If meal prepping, cook ravioli separately and add them when reheating to prevent them from getting too soft.

Reheat gently over low heat and stir occasionally.
