Garnish with sprinkles of chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. White corn is preferred if available. You may use 4 cobs of corn. Cut kernels off the cob, then add to soup. Canned crabmeat or imitation crabmeat may be used instead of fresh crabmeat.
Fresh crabmeat is desirable.
In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, garlic and saut for 4 to 5 minutes or until onion is softened. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, sugar, salt and pepper. Keep the consistency to that of ketchup, thinning with a little more water if necessary. Adjust seasonings to taste.
