The rainy weather has made me crave for soup again, which is why I decided to look for new recipes that I can try. This yummy recipe uses turkey. If you do not have any, feel free to use chicken. Ravioli is another ingredient that made this dish delicious. You may make your own or use pre-made ones that you can find in the supermarket.

The soup has a clear broth, with a mix of vegetable tastes. You can also thicken it by adding some tomato sauce or tomato paste. The crushed chili makes the soup spicy to ensure that you feel warm, but do away with it if you are not fond of spicy food.

There are so many things that can be done to give this recipe more variation. Simply mix and match ingredients and add others that you like. Enjoy!
