Preparation
In a medium size soup pot, melt the butter with the EVOO, one turn of the pan, over medium heat. Add the eggplant and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add the raviolini and cook until tender, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the basil.
Serve the soup in bowls, topped with cheese.
