Sopa Paraguaya
Paraguayan savoury corn bread enriched with onion, milk, fresh cheese and eggs.
About Sopa Paraguaya
Sopa Paraguaya is a solid savoury corn bread rather than a liquid soup. This profile fixes International Cuisine's version made with Queso Paraguay, leaving its mozzarella-and-Parmesan availability substitute unselected.
Corn flour gives the bread a mellow toasted sweetness, balanced by savoury onion and salty fresh cheese. Milk and egg add richness, while black pepper gives the otherwise gentle flavour a light aromatic edge.
The baked bread is golden on top with a soft yellow interior flecked by onion and cheese. It cuts into firm squares but retains a moist, tender and slightly crumbly crumb.

Origins & food traditions
International Cuisine supplies a complete Paraguayan corn-flour bread recipe and names Queso Paraguay as its first cheese choice. Paraguay's National Institute of Food and Nutrition independently identifies sopa paraguaya as a traditional spongy savoury cake, documents its Guaraní-Spanish culinary context and lists corn flour, onion, milk, eggs and fresh cheese among the traditional core ingredients. Paraguay's culture ministry also protects its traditional preparation as national intangible cultural heritage.
