• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large Egg
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 28-ounce can Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 9 ounces Cheese ravioli (frozen or fresh)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 2

Roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and brown them on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the browned meatballs and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir in the Italian seasoning, and bring the soup to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Return the meatballs to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes to allow them to cook through.

Step 7

Add the ravioli to the soup and cook according to the package instructions, usually 4-6 minutes, until tender.

Step 8

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete, comforting meal.
