Ingredients

  • olive oil
    2 tbsp.
  • ground italian pork sausage
    1 lb.
  • garlic

    finely chopped

    6 cloves
  • chopped yellow onion
    5 ½ c
  • lower-sodium chicken
    4 c
  • kosher salt
    1 tsp.
  • 24-oz. jar marinara sauce
    1
  • 9-oz. pkg. refrigerated
    1
  • packed torn curly kale
    4 c
  • heavy cream
    ½ c
  • chopped fresh basil
    ¼ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add sausage; cook, breaking it up using a wooden spoon, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl using a slotted spoon.

  2. 2

    Add garlic and onion to pot. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in broth, 2 cups water, salt, and marinara sauce, scraping bottom of pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a boil over medium; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add ravioli; cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add sausage, kale, cream, and basil to pot; cook, stirring often, until kale is wilted and sausage is heated through, about 5 minutes. Garnish with basil. Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that the ravioli (or any pasta used) will soak up the liquid, and the soup’s texture will change. So, it’s best to use a slotted spoon to remove the ravioli from the soup base and store the ravioli separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Combine and reheat the soup until piping hot.
