   1      large         onion -- finely chopped
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
28      ounces        canned tomatoes -- chopped
     1/4 cup           tomato paste
13 3/4 ounces        beef broth
     1/2 cup           dry red wine
   1      cup           water
     1/2 teaspoon      sugar
     1/2 teaspoon      dried basil
     1/4 teaspoon      dried thyme
     1/4 teaspoon      oregano
12      ounces        ravioli, cheese-filled
     1/4 cup           parsley -- chopped
                        Parmesan cheese -- grated
                        ----- Meatballs -----
   1                    egg
     1/4 cup           soft bread crumbs
     1/4 cup           grated Parmesan cheese
     3/4 teaspoon      onion salt
   1      clove         garlic -- minced
   1      pound         lean ground beef

1. In a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven, brown meatballs carefully in heated oil. Mix in onion and garlic and cook about 5 minutes, taking care not to break up meatballs. Add tomatoes and their liquid, tomato paste, broth, wine, water, sugar, basil, thyme, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.

2. Add ravioli and cook, covered, at a gentle boil for as long as specified on package (10 to 15 minutes), until they are just tender and no longer taste starchy. Salt to taste. Stir in parsley. Serve with cheese to sprinkle over the thick soup.

Meatballs: In a medium bowl lightly beat egg; mix in soft bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion salt, garlic, and beef. Shape into 1-inch balls.
