How to Make Paraguayan Cheese Cornbread Sopa Paraguaya

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and cheese.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Finely chop the onions and add them to the batter, along with the chopped cilantro.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly firm.
  8. Let the Sopa Paraguaya cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
