I know it’s not technically fall yet, but when I got home from my trip the other night, all I could think about was making soup. Maybe it’s premature, but I am all into the fall flavors already, and when I saw this pumpkin ravioli in the freezer, I knew what had to happen. 

So here, I made you some pumpkin ravioli soup for Meatless Monday. It’s great with grated or shaved parmesan on top, but I also had leftovers with a poached egg for lunch the next day after I made it. My motto in life these days apparently is #putaneggonit 

It was the bomb, as the kids say. They still say that, right? If not, I am old. Someone fetch grandma her slippers and a little whiskey for this here teacup.

Anyway. Happy Monday!
