Heat oil in large stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened and barely beginning to brown. Add garlic and cook for one more minute. Add sausage and cook, breaking up into pieces, until no longer pink. Drain off some fat if desired. Add mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms begin to soften.Add oregano, basil, bay leaves, sugar, and cinnamon and cook for one minute. Add chicken stock and bring pot to a simmer. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by 1/3. Add both cans of tomato paste and cook until tomato paste darkens slightly. Add the tomato sauce. Move part of the enormous can of tomatoes to a blender and pulse briefly to break up the whole tomatoes. Add this to the pot, and crush the rest of the tomatoes by hand, adding those to the pot as well.Cook over low heat, stirring often, until very delicious. You can serve this in as little as 20-30 minutes, or cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours if you have the time.
