It will fill you up in no time but it’s easy on your calorie intake if you happen to “overindulge”! I made my ravioli soup with chicken broth but if you prefer going fully vegetarian use vegetable stock instead. 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.

One thing is for sure! This simple but hearty soup will warm you up during the chillier months!
