Sopa paraguaya

Paraguay · Latin America

Short description: This dish is a savory cornmeal-and-cheese bake with a soft crumb and a misleading soup-like name.
Ingredients: Corn flour or cornmeal is baked with cheese, eggs, milk or whey, onion, fat, and salt into a soft savory cake.
Cultural note: It belongs to a family of corn-and-cheese bakes where dairy, eggs, and onion turn staple grain into a rich side or snack.
Common misconception: The confusing name does not mean it is served as broth; it is usually cut into squares or wedges.
