This ravioli soup is a classic “kitchen sink” soup. You can clean out your pantry and crisper drawer in the fridge and create pure and delicious magic.
This recipe calls for just a little bit of ground sausage; only 1/4 of a pound (we use this Whole30 Breakfast Sausage). It’s a great way to get all the delicious flavor without using a lot of meat. You can, of course, adjust the amount if you like or leave it out entirely.
Want to make this vegetable noodle soup vegetarian? Just leave out the sausage and use vegetable broth. I’d also throw in some white beans or chickpeas. Want to make it vegan? Leave out the sausage, use vegetable broth, and any vegan noodle pasta.
Serve this soup with a side of Air Fryer Texas Toast, Cheesy Garlic Bread, or Air Fryer Biscuits and your life will be complete.
Pro Tips/Recipe Notes
- Vegetable noodle soup freezes really well. Freeze individual portions in wide-mouth pint canning jars or family portions in wide-mouth quart jars or in Souper Cubes.
- Make your meal prep even easier by learning how to freeze celery, how to freeze carrots, how to freeze garlic, and how to freeze onions.
- The original version of this recipe called for canned stewed tomatoes, but my kiddos hate chunks of tomatoes in soup. I buy an organic vegetable juice to use in Instant Pot Mexican Rice, Instant Pot Beef Stew, and Instant Pot Turkey Chili and freeze the leftover juice.
- Use leftover pasta to make Instant Pot Ravioli.

This. Ski trip food extraordinaire. Serve with crack bread, let the potassium from the beans help you with recovery so you can hit the slopes again the next morning.
I mean, basically, it’s physical recovery science, right? 🙂
This soup looks delicious! I recently made a chicken noodle soup, using a long tubular pasta (don’t remember the name, larger than penne) and the pasta swelled up HUGE after cooking. Any tips to help keep the pasta from overcooking or absorbing too much of the broth?
Sara, the ravioli I use are REALLY tiny when they start, so I don’t feel like they more than doubled in the cooking process. I think they’re not even 1 inch across before the cooking process.
So I think your best bet would be use something small. If it ends up soaking up too much broth for your preferences, you can always add a bit more after cooking. I do that with my lentil soup because the Instant Pot comes to pressure faster with less broth.
Thank you, that makes sense!
I made this soup twice in a week! I didn’t change any of the instructions, which is rare for me as I usually interpret a carefully thought out recipe as a loose guideline – and it came out great. Thank you! So delicious
I’m so glad you liked it so much! It’s a great “kitchen sink” kind of soup. 🙂
10/10
Thanks Sarah for another great recipe 🙂
Everyone really enjoyed it – other half even went back for thirds, then I caught him eating the children’s leftovers so will definitely make it again. I even have enough left over for my lunch tomorrow.
Added some sour cream into the children’s as it was ‘too spicey’ then one finished the whole bowl.
Best part was really how quick it was, put everything in, and walk away.
This is on frequent rotation in our house.
So happy to hear that Christine! It’s hard to turn down cheesy ravioli in soup.
On a dark November morning, when energy is low, and clouds crowd close, this is the soup I make with magic paprika dust, and life is better somehow. Soups good anytime, but this is perfect for winter.
So glad you liked it, Sandy! And yes, paprika is MAGIC!
So. Flipping. Good.
My DH, who is usually meh on soups, ate it for dinner last night. Loved it. Then had leftovers for breakfast. Leftover soup for breakfast. Totally unheard of.
Who-hoo, converting soup hates one bowl at a time!!! FWIW, I adore soup for breakfast. Hubby has good taste.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! 🙂
On the list of ingredients, it says x cups of celery (4 carrots). Thought you might want to fix that! ????
Doh! Fixed, thank you!
It’s like a little bowl of happiness! Will make again!
Seriously, am I on crack today?!? *Stars*
