Creamy Chicken & Ravioli Soup is a cream- based soup that starts off with the standard onion, carrots and celery, then builds to a buttery roux. Which is just a fancy way of saying that we brown a little flour that’s used to thicken our soup as we add layer after layer of goodness!
Some soup recipes require the pasta to be cooked before it’s added to the soup. But because this recipe uses a fresh, refrigerated ravioli, cooking it right in the soup is best. It soaks up all that good flavor and cream without overcooking the pasta!
There’s no doubt that Creamy Chicken & Ravioli Soup is a hearty soup. It sticks to the ribs while it warms the souls of those who gather around your table. And that combined with its deep rich flavor…? Well, that checks all the boxes and then some for a one pot meal that my family asks for time and time again.

Deborah,
You are so welcome! It is one of our favorites- so warm and comforting. I am just tickled that you enjoyed it!
Delicious! I did not add spinach, as I did not have any. I put a lot more mushrooms in. Very tasty soup. Couldn’t stop eating it!
Hi, Sherise!

Hi, Rachel! I am so glad you made it too! It’s awesome when you can find something the whole family loves. I am just tickled! Thank you so much!
This was amazing! So yummy on a cold winter night! I’m not a fan of mushrooms so I left them out. But had some corn on hand, leftover from Thanksgiving, so dumped that in and it was perfect. I have some leftover for tomorrow–might toss in some broccolini that I also have leftover from Thanksgiving too!
