This past week I was looking for cheap, easy, yummy dinners. Okay, that’s what I’m looking for most of the time. Anyway, I tried this variation on Chicken Noodle Soup and it was a definite hit. Amber loved it and even ate the celery, which she doesn’t usually do.
Chicken Ravioli Soup (recipe thanks to DisneyFamily.com)
Ready In: 30 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
8 cups chicken stock or broth
1/2 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup diced celery
2 cups refrigerated mini cheese-stuffed ravioli (I used frozen tortellini instead. It’s what we had and it’s Amber’s favorite.)
1 cup cooked chicken – diced
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat chicken stock in a soup pot to boiling; reduce heat and add carrot and celery.
- Simmer until vegetables are soft – about 20 minutes.
- Add ravioli and cook according to package directions — usually about a 5 minute simmer.
- Stir in cooked chicken, salt and pepper as desired and serve.
Using the tortellini instead of regular egg noodles made it a little heartier, a little more filling. And between the three of us, we didn’t have any left-overs.
I forgot to take a picture before I added crackers. It’s soupier than it looks above.
What’s your favorite cheap, easy meal?

Toasted cheese sandwiches and tomato soup!!!
Another one of my stand-bys. Amber and David like pepperoni on their grilled cheese.
I love easy meals and nothing beats a pot of soup in the winter.
That looks amazing. I love almost any type of soup. I will have to try this recipe out. In the Kitchen, I am all for cheap, but I love a challenge.
This may be my new one!
It was a hit here. Quick, easy and yummy.
Looks easy 😀 I could do that
Mmm, that looks good!
I actually always make my soup like that..except I use homemade stock and add onion…and baby spinach.
The spinach would kill it for my daughter. She doesn’t like any leaves, she even orders salad without lettuce.
