Ravioli Soup

I was searching through my freezer the other day looking for something totally unrelated to ravioli when I happened upon half of a bag of frozen ravioli. I thought....I really need to do something with this...and this soup was born. I love anything cheesy-noodle related so I was pretty excited to make this. You guys.....this soup will rock your socks! IT Guy LOVED it....I mean he L-O-V-E-D it! It didn't make a huge pot so I loved that part. We each had a couple of bowls then there was plenty to send for IT Guy's lunch the next day. This would be easy to double if you need to feed more people or like leftovers but is perfect for a small family. Super good.....super easy.....super duper!
