This cheese ravioli soup is hearty, rich, low in calories and fat and full of all your favorite fresh veggies! It will fill you up in no time but it’s easy on your calorie intake if you happen to “overindulge”!

Feel free to use your favorite vegetables instead of the ones I picked since these are my most favorite and I use them in most of my recipes. You can also make this soup a complete meal by simply adding grilled chicken.
