Paraguayan Cheese Cornbread-Sopa Paraguaya image

Despite the title, this recipe is not a soup. It is actually a hearty cornbread, flavored with cheese and onions. In Paraguay it is traditionally served as an accompaniment to soups and grilled meats, but it also makes a great addition to the breakfast or brunch table.
