GARDEN RAVIOLI SOUP


6 cups Chicken broth (can use 6 chicken bouillon cubes & 6 cups of water, boil water & add cubes>chicken broth)
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon basil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (2 shakes should be good enough)
1 shake red pepper (sparingly)
1 medium carrot (shredded then cut) about 1 cup
1 can (14 ½ oz) whole stewed tomatoes (cut them up, >pour into a bowl-use a knife to cut each stewed tomato(s) in half)
1 cup small cheese ravioli’s or tortellini (use half the bag, more than 1 cup)

Note: Do not add salt to soup, it will cause the soup to have a salty taste. See below: Helpful Hint.

Optional vegetables

1 zucchini skinned and sliced medium
1 yellow squash skinned and sliced medium
½ can red beans, drained (a little less than ½ a can is best)

Note: Optional vegetables should be added, enhances the taste of the garden ravioli soup

Step1

In a large pot mix chicken broth, oregano, basil, garlic powder, parsley flakes, black pepper, red pepper, shredded carrots and cut stewed tomato's.

Step 2

Cook above broth over a medium-high heat, heat to a boil. Stir while adding ingredients, until boiling.

Step 3

Add the ravioli’s. Reduce heat to a medium. Stir. Cook for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Add optional cut/sliced vegetables, cook on low for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

If the soup has a salty taste: Add 1 skinned/peeled raw potato to soup, cook for 20 minutes, this will eliminate the salty taste, then remove the potato. Stir soup. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Serve.

Helpful Hint:

If any broth/sauce/soup that tastes salty. The raw potato soaks up the excess salt and will remove the salty taste. ALWAYS cook the broth/sauce/soup with the raw skinned/peeled potato for 20 minutes, most importantly: remove and discard raw potato from broth/sauce/soup).

This sounds good. I have all of the stuff except the whole stewed tomatoes. Closest thing I have is a 14 1/2oz can of tomato sauce.
 
Jglass,

You really need the stewed tomatos or you can used diced tomatos ~ When I buy the stewed tomatos I put them in a bowl and use two steak knives and in a criss cross action I dice them, slightly, works for me.

Cookie,

I'm glad you like this soup and I hope you enjoy the others ~ I make these series of soup through out the year ~ If I had my way ~ I'd eat soup daily
 
mm that sounds so good. I know I love home made soup nothing like it!! You have such great soup recipes you really do. Cookie :)
 
Thank you ~ I love soup, and I eat it all year round and I live in AZ where the hottest days can be 117 degrees (it's a dry heat) ~ What I find as funny is some have said to me "it is so hot out and you're eating soup??!!!!! While they are holding a cup of hot steamy coffee, mind you :) I just love soup period, it's great and along time ago I got tired of canned soups so I started making my own and they are so much better ~ though I'll never ever knock canned or boxed soup because I ate them for years, still do, but HOME MADE that is just something else.
 
I have been to Sedona AZ before "Red Rock" mountains before we really liked it Beautiful place!! The people in AZ are really friendly. I know it's really hot there but it's a dry heat right? 117 wow that's HOT!! I bet you get used to it. I live in Chicago and it gets really cold and you just really have to dress for it. Winters can get really long.... It's defenently "soup" weather in the winter but I eat soup all year round to. I haven't made many home made soups, mostly chili, beef stew.

Thanks again for all the soup recipes.. they all sound so good! Cookie :)
 
I ABSOLUTELY love Sedona ~ It, to me, is one of the most beautiful and breath-taking places in the world. I'm originally from NJ and moved to AZ in 1981, I've adapted somewhat but I REALLY MISS THE SEASONS ESPECIALLY AUTUMN my favorite ~ I miss the crisp cool Autumn nights ~ you can smell the Autumn and it's beauty in the leaves colors. I am use to the hotter weather only because no humidity. I'd take NJ weather in a heartbeat of AZ but my family is here and so I stay.
 
That is a long time. I Love the Fall to, it is really a Beautiful time of year. It's also a messy time with all the leaves changing and falling!! Cookie :)
 
I agree, but I have to admit, I'd rather clean the colorful leaves then still wear shorts in the fall and look at the majority of my view which is desert: brown, light brown, and tan, bits and pieces of white ~ Yes there are trees and greenery but, most people have rock front yards (mostly brown) and green belts are few and far between, once in a while I'd like to see a Red house or a Blue house with front porches: green grass lawns, unique looking houses instead of row houses that are brown or shades of brown ~ reminds me of the mud huts on Gilligan's Island ~ Definitely not saying all of Phoenix is brown but 78% of it is, I just want color in the desert. I WANT SEASONS ~ I'D LIKE A WHITE CHRISTMAS WITHOUT DRIVING TO FLAGSTAFF. I miss NJ
 
Awesome, jglass, please let me know how it turns out ~ and I truly hope you enjoy it ~ my older sister Connie loves it.
 
OK THANKS, I will think of you when I'm raking the leaves and shoveling the snow, and scraping ice and snow off my car. lol

I really do know what you mean I Love the change of seasons they are BEAUTIFUL! I have lived in Chicago my entire life. If we could only have a month of winter it would be better!! Sorry you miss NJ. Cookie :)
