In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sautΓ© for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned whole tomatoes (including their juice) to the pot and break them up with a wooden spoon.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the milk, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Heat gently on low for 2-3 minutes, making sure not to boil the soup after adding the milk to prevent curdling.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or sugar to balance the flavors as desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves if using. Serve warm with bread or crackers on the side.
