This soup is amazing and takes less than an hour from start to finish! I use any kind of pasta but my favorite is homemade ravioli - BEST if used after they have been fresh frozen (never cooked). Otherwise, they dry out and become hard after cooking.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 1/2 cups Fresh diced bell peppers and onion (use your own tastebuds to determine how much of each. I used 1 3/4 cups pepper and 3/4 cup onion)
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 ounces can of petite diced tomatoes, no salt added
  • 1 1/2 cups HOT water
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 10 ounces package or fresh-than-frozen homemade ravioli - I made my own and froze them to keep for ready to cook meals.
  • 15 ounces can/container Vegetable Broth (use 1.5 pkgs for more broth- I used 1 can, then added from a second one every time I heated a serving)
  • 2 cups diced zucchini, about 2-2.5 medium
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste (optional)
  • 1 dash Fresh ground pepper, if desired

Directions

  1. Heat oil in large saucepan or dutch oven over MEDIUM heat.
  2. Add Peppers, Onions, Garlic and Crushed Red Pepper - Cook about 1 minute.
  3. Add tomatoes, broth, water and basil. BRING TO A ROLLING BOIL over high heat
  4. Add Ravioli and cook for only a few minutes (usually about 3 less than you would normally cook them)
  5. Add Zucchini and return to boil.
  6. Cook until CRISP-TENDER (about 3 minutes)
  7. Season with Pepper, if using.
  8. Enjoy!
