How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes. Sauté gently until the onion becomes translucent, about 10-15 minutes, releasing a sweet aroma.
3. Add the tomato puree, sugar, vinegar, chopped tomatoes, and passata. Crumble the stock cubes and add the boiling water.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld together. Remove the bay leaves.
5. Puree the soup with a hand blender or blender in batches until smooth and creamy.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the sweetness with a little more sugar if necessary.
7. To serve, reheat the soup gently and stir in the milk, avoiding boiling.
8. Serve the soup in bowls and accompany with the cheesy sausage rolls.
