Beef And Ravioli Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the water, tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, parsley, garlic, basil, sugar, oregano, onion salt, salt, pepper and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes., Cook ravioli according to package directions; drain. Add to soup and heat through. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired.

Steps:

• Toss sirloin, and 2 tablespoons flour in bowl. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook until beef is browned; transfer with slotted spoon to bowl.
• Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, thyme and white pepper to Dutch oven. Cook, stirring, 3 minutes, until vegetables are lightly browned.
• Add broth, tomatoes, 1 cup water, reserved beef, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to boil; reduce heat to medium and cook 20 minutes, until vegetables are tender. Add beef ravioli; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons flour and 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in cup until smooth. Stir into soup; bring to boil and boil 1 minute.

Steps:

• For the soup: Using a vegetable peeler or cheese grater, make shavings from the wedge of Parmesan until you have 1/2 cup. Set aside. Cut off and reserve the rind from the wedge.
• Combine the oil, onions and garlic in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the asparagus, broth and Parmesan rind. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce it to a simmer. Add the ravioli and peas and cook until the ravioli are al dente, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat then immediately stir in the arugula and lemon juice. Taste and season the soup with salt and pepper. (If the Parmesan rind hasn't fully melted, remove and discard it.)
• For the pesto topping: Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the toasted pine nuts, basil, Parmesan, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. With the motor running, pour the oil in through the feed tube and process until smooth. If needed, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and continue processing.
• Drizzle the pesto over the soup, garnish with the shaved Parmesan and serve.
