Ravioli And Vegetable Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add pepper/onion mix, garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Add tomatoes, broth, water and basil (or marjoram).
• Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
• Add ravioli and cook for 3 minutes less that the package directions.
• Add zucchini and return to a boil. Cook until the zucchini is tender crisp, about 3 minutes.
• Season with pepper.

Steps:

• Bring vegetable broth to boil in a 3 1/2-4 qt stockpot, over high heat.
• Add ravioli; reduce to simmer; cook gently 4 minutes.
• Add diced canned tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet onion and garlic; simmer gently additional 5 minutes.
• Add fresh baby spinach leaves, basil, oregano, cayenne; simmer until spinach is wilted.
• Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Serve bowls and sprinkle with Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring water and bouillon cube to a boil. Place ravioli in the pot, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in spinach, mushrooms, carrot, frozen peas and carrots, olive oil, and soy sauce; cook for 5 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the soup: Using a vegetable peeler or cheese grater, make shavings from the wedge of Parmesan until you have 1/2 cup. Set aside. Cut off and reserve the rind from the wedge.
• Combine the oil, onions and garlic in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the asparagus, broth and Parmesan rind. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce it to a simmer. Add the ravioli and peas and cook until the ravioli are al dente, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat then immediately stir in the arugula and lemon juice. Taste and season the soup with salt and pepper. (If the Parmesan rind hasn't fully melted, remove and discard it.)
• For the pesto topping: Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the toasted pine nuts, basil, Parmesan, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. With the motor running, pour the oil in through the feed tube and process until smooth. If needed, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and continue processing.
• Drizzle the pesto over the soup, garnish with the shaved Parmesan and serve.
