Add olive oil to a Dutch oven (or large pot) over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion and cook the beef until browned and cooked through, crumbling as it cooks. Drain off excess fat.

Stir in the pasta sauce, chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Lasagna noodles are used in this soup, but Mafalda pasta or shells would make a great option as well. DO NOT use no-boil noodles in this recipe.
