Ravioli Soup

Heat a heavy bottom pot over medium-low heat, spray with oil and add sausage pieces, stirring minimally so the sausage caramelizes. Once cooked through, remove from pot & reserve.

Add Roma tomatoes, flesh side down, onion & garlic on top of tomatoes or in the center if the size of the pot permits. Let the ingredients caramelize, untouched, for 4-5 minutes. Add chicken broth. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, until the ingredients are softened and the liquid is a bit reduced, about 25-30 minutes.

Remove from heat, add half and half and blend with an immersion blender until smooth.

Return to a simmer and add mini ravioli. Return chicken sausage, spinach and parmesan to the soup. Simmer until the pasta is cooked according to package directions the soup is warmed through.
