Sopa Paraguay Redux


Microwave for 1 minute in 1 cup of water- ditch the water after the fact and let the onions cool; set aside

  • 1.5 cups frozen onions

Mix these ingredients into lumpy consistency with pea-sized pellets:

  • 1 cup corn flour (this version I used whole grain stone ground corn flour by bob’s red mill and it makes a big difference in texture)
  • 1 cup of fine ground Estancia Organic Polenta (the absolute best polenta ever!)
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine- softened

Add and stir:

  • 2 eggs

Add and stir:

  • 1/2 cup cream 
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 1 tblsp coarse salt
  • 1.5 cups frozen corn
  • 1 cup fresh cheese  (1/2 queso fresco or ricotta salata or fresh farmer’s cheese & 1/2 queso chihuahua or mozzarella or oaxaca)

Pour into a greased round baking dish. (I use Baker’s Joy) It will look like a soupy mess- don’t despair. This is actually really good.

Bake in convection oven (400 deg. F) for approx 50 minutes.
