 * __Chipa__**

While in Paraguay, the two main dishes served and eaten by locals are Chipa and Sopa Paraguaya ("Chipa") They are eaten throughout all of Paraguay and are considered a rather standard food. Chipa is made from the Cassava Bread and is traditionally filled with Cheese but can also be filled with meats and vegetables. ("Chipa") They are made fresh daily and are loved and distributed by locals in markets and along sidewalks throughout Paraguay every day. Sopa Paraguaya is commonly mistaken as an actual soup, but is instead more of a cornbread. It is often considered a meal in its self and is made out of corn and onions and is rather “soggy” or “creamy” ("Chipa"). Together, the two can make up either breakfast or lunch for many locals in Paraguay.
