This is one easy way to whip up a batch of Lasagna Soup!
Start by heating up 1 T of oil in your dutch oven pan. You'll want to do this at medium-heat. Once the pan is hot, add the ground beef and the diced onion. Use your wooden spoon to crumble up the beef and make sure to cook the beef until it's browned all the way. You should see no pink at all in the meat.
Once the meat is browned, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute of time. Drain off any excess fat from the cooked beef.
Stir in the chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, pasta sauce, and pepper.
Let the mixture boil and then turn down the heat to simmer for 30 minutes.
As the pasta sauce mixture is cooking, start to cook the pasta noodles. Read the directions on the side of the lasagna noodles box and cook them until they're al dente. Once the noodles are cooked, cut them into bite-sized pieces using kitchen scissors and put them into the soup at the end of the cooking time.
Serve with cheese and other toppings as a garnish.
