METHOD
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over a low heat to melt the butter. Add the onion, celery and carrot and fry until soft. Add the oregano, paprika and garlic and fry for a further minute. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes, stock, Worcestershire sauce and cracked pepper and bring to a gentle simmer. Partially cover with a lid and simmer for 45 minutes.
Remove the soup from the heat and blitz until smooth using a stick blender or food processor. Return to the heat, add the cream and sugar and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil, add the ravioli and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until al dente.
