It is soup weather in our house and I am whipping up all kinds of yumminess whenever I can in the form of soup. This recipe is probably the easiest one ever because it uses prepackaged ravioli and takes very little time to prepare. 
Quick Ravioli and Spinach Soup
Boil 1 9 ounce package refrigerated small cheese ravioli in 2 – 32 ounce cartons of chicken broth with 1/4 tsp onion powder and a dash of pepper for 7 – 10 minutes. Add 4 cups chopped fresh spinach and 3 cups shredded cooked chicken during last 3 minutes of cooking. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese. (I used thawed frozen ravioli and canned chicken breasts—it all works! Smaller ravioli would probably work a bit better, also. You can also add more seasonings to your liking but this version is very tasty.)
Did you notice that awesome bowl holder? When I visited Audrey of Minnesota Prairie Roots fame we visited some shops in downtown Faribault, MN. AMong one of those was The Crafty Maven where I found these fabulous little quilted hot bowl holders. Since we are famous for reheating leftovers and oatmeal and the likes in the microwave these are the perfect thing to protect our little hands from hot bowls coming right out. If you are ever in Faribault make sure you stop in to see Dee at The Crafty Maven. The shop has all kinds of fabulous items.
If you are a sewer, Doreen over at Treadlemusic did a little tutorial awhile back on how to make some of these little hot bowl cozies on her blog. Click here to go to that blog post in a new window.

Leave a commentCool invention, those bowl-holders. I know exactly what you mean about the microwave. I may have to try this recipe. Looks good.
The bowl hiders are a fabulous invention! The soup is so quick and easy and yummy. I used large ravioli but it is probably better with the small size.
Sounds tasty. I’ve been putting Parmesan on soup and salads lately.
I am not a huge Parmesan lover but if it is not overwhelming in a dish I will eat it. This one is a perfect blending, IMHO.
Sounds delish and easy! Thank you!!
Very easy !!! An easy go to Saturday meal perhaps?
Oh yes indeed…filled with all foods that everyone likes! Can you say DINNER TONIGHT? Thank you!
Yay!!!! Glad I could help. Salad and crusty bread and you are good to go!
A stack of those microwave bowl holders is next to my mic, too! DH loves ’em for his oatmeal! The soup looks awesome!!!! Thanks…………………
Yep–I should have linked to your post about making them!!!! I totally forgot you did a tutorial, didn’t you???
http://treadlemusic.wordpress.com/2013/11/23/getting-rid-of-the-ouch/ Yup!!! My quilting friend made several dozen to give as Christmas gifts last year!!!! I’m not sure if I could do that many!!!! LOL!
Awesome—I added it later but it is great to have it here in the comments, too. Thanks!!! A couple dozen seems very ……impressive? Ridiculous? Over achiever? 🙂
Yup….you go it!!!!!!! LOL!
I just added a link to your blog post on making those cute bowl holders!!!!
Hmmm good…looks delicious. Soup to warm the inner soul! Love the bowl holders as they sure are becoming popular.
I just added a link to Doreen’s blog with directions on how to make them for the crafty folks out there!
Thanks for the shout out about my blog and The Crafty Maven in Faribault. You are so sweet.
That soup recipe sounds delish and easy, which I like. I love soup. Unfortunately, I don’t think I could get the hubby to eat this soup because of the spinach. He doesn’t know what goodness he’s missing.
You know I loved the Crafty Maven! 🙂 I added Doreen’s link to her tutorial later—I totally forgot about her having that on her blog.
Randy doesn’t know what he is missing with the spinach. Yum.
I love your slightly savory saturdays! This looks simple and delicious. Plus that is a unique bowl holder. Now I want to make soup.
I am glad I started doing them. I have put recipes up very randomly so this way I have more of an organized method–hopefully.
The soup sounds good. I make soup a lot since it is usually easy to make and good for you.
I think you could work for Campbell’s with your comment—soup is good food. 🙂
Looks wonderful! Love the bowl holders too!
Thanks, Dawn. The bowl holders have really been a winner in our house.
This is such a great quick and easy recipe! My boyfriend and I make a similar soup with frozen tortellini and frozen peas or corn. If we’re ambitious that day we add beans. I haven’t thought to add spinach, that sounds delicious. The boy won’t eat spinach, but I can make it when he isn’t around!
Oh the tortellini and peas soup sounds yummy, too. Not hard to make soup in this kind of weather.Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!!!
Love the little bowl holders and how wonderful for you to have visited Audrey! We love Audrey. When I make ravioli I often have enough for a few bags in the freezer, this would be a perfect way to use them.. thank you.. c
It’s so easy and you could sub in kale or whatever you have as the “green”. Yummy. And yes—Audrey is wonderful. I am blessed to have her as a friend in real life, too.
I am mad about kale, cannot get enough of the stuff! Give my love to Audrey when you see her! c
Kale is the new fav, isn’t it? How did we ever live without it? 🙂 Will give Audrey your love!
In NZ it is called silverbeet and we never lived without it,every garden has it. I have always eaten a lot of it as i am anaemic otherwise..
I forgot it was called silverbeet! You Kiwis are always ahead of us Americans in healthy eating!
not really, we can just grow all year round where i lived, and most vege and fruit growers sell from their gates.. makes life simple.. c
Looks yummy. I had never heard of a bowl holder. What a great idea! Hope you are staying warm today!
Hugs from Ecuador,
Kathy
It is yummy! The bowl holders are perfect—we used them all the time!
Love the hot bowl holders! Kelvin is always heating up bowls in the microwave & then “ooching” & “ouching” as he tries to move the bowls around!
Oh you need to get one for Kelvin!!! They are wonderful little inventions.
The bowl holders are really fun and so clever.
They are perfect—we use them daily.
A bowl holder! How practical, and pretty, too!
