About Caldo Ava
Ruben Jager Cabrera’s Caldo Avá is a Paraguayan offal soup, which he identifies as a typical dish in his region. His version combines four separately named offal components with tomato, pepper, carrot and onion.
Black pepper, oregano and garlic powder season the long-cooked broth. Queso Paraguay adds a dairy element near the end, alongside the vegetables and offal.
The offal is cooked until soft, with its pieces and the vegetables remaining in the soup. Chopped cheese is added before the hot serving, following the author’s stated preference for a cheese that melts readily.
