Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned tomatoes, including the juices, and use a spoon to break them into smaller pieces.
Add the vegetable broth, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and blend in batches.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for added richness.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with chopped fresh basil, and serve hot with crusty bread or grilled cheese.
