I wasn't going to make soup today. I was supposed to have lunch with a friend at local Vietnamese restaurant. But the weather threw a wrench in our plans. This is what it looked like outside my window this afternoon.
As I am writing this, it is snowing so hard and is so windy I can barely see the park across the street. It started snowing about 7 pm last night and is expected to continue until about 3 am. We've already gotten about 8 inches. So it was perfect weather to stay in and cook. It was perfect soup weather.
I used ingredients I had on hand. So feel free to improvise with what you have in your kitchen. I used pumpkin ravioli because I think it pairs nicely with the chicken broth. Any ravioli will work.
Chicke Ravioli Soup
4 cups chicken stock
1 large carrot sliced
2 stalks salary diced
½ package frozen pumpkin ravioli (about 10)
1 cup peas
2 cups mixed stir fry vegetables (peppers, snow peas,
mushrooms)
1 tablespoon dried marjoram
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
Salt and pepper
Add the stock to a 5 quart Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, add the carrots and
celery. Add the ravioli and cook until
the ravioli is done. Add peas, vegetables, marjoram and rosemary. Bring to a simmer and simmer until the
vegetables are heated through. Add salt
and pepper to taste.
Serves 4
