Sopa Paraguaya is a traditional Paraguayan dish, often described as a combination of cornbread and cheese soufflé. Despite its name, which translates to "Paraguayan soup," it is actually a solid dish, not a soup. Its main ingredients include corn flour, cheese, milk, and onions. Sopa Paraguaya is a staple food in Paraguay and is often served during festive occasions and national holidays.
