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.

***** – Made this — we all loved it — even filled up an 18 year old male with hollow legs.
Filling up an 18-year-old male is high praise. 🙂 So glad you all enjoyed it!
Sarah’s soup is famous at Ocean Shores! Her soup won a soup cook off there, too. One must for the soup is Trader Joe’s little dried cheese ravioli. It plumps up and holds its shape. This recipe truly is a family favorite. Thank you, Sarah. We love you, AND your $!#.
Love you Ann!
Your humor suits me perfectly ❤️
More like smoked paprika and garlicky heaven!
Sadly, it never occurred to me to make a big batch of black beans and then freeze them.
This looks awesome. It would have been perfect for this last week as our highs were between 5-10 degrees.
I have made this probably a dozen times and it’s always popular! This time I added bacon and cooked my veggies in the grease! Oh my goodness! Makes it less of a “frugal” meal but YUM!
Just made this tonight and loved it! My sister and I agree that we are using 2 cans of black beans next time though. I can’t wait for your cookbook!
hi Sarah! I am making this soup for the second time today as it was a big hit at our house! I was wondering if you have ever frozen this soup before? I am planning a freezer cooking day and would love to include this!
Yahoo, so glad to hear that!
Yep, I’ve frozen it lots of times. In fact, a pint is currently defrosting in my fridge for Troy to take to work tomorrow.
Holy moly. I’m recovering from an aggressive cold so I made this today and you were right, it WAS awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Yummy Sarah. I can’t wait to try it.
