Sopa paraguaya is a traditional Paraguayan cornbread soup or pancake, often described as an Andean flatbread with a soupy consistency. It’s made primarily from cornmeal and is usually flavored with cheese and chili peppers, giving it a unique taste.
Recipe for Sopa Paraguaya
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of masa harina (cornmeal)
– 3/4 cup milk
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup grated cheddar or parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon chopped onion
– Salt to taste
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 fresh oregano leaf, finely chopped
– A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the masa harina and salt.
2. Gradually add milk while stirring until you get a smooth dough-like consistency. It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter.
3. Mix in the grated cheese, chopped onion, oregano, and cayenne pepper if using.
4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
6. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until set and lightly golden.
7. Serve hot as is, or you can top with additional cheese, sliced avocado, diced tomatoes, or chives if desired.
Enjoy your traditional Sopa Paraguaya!
