The sopa paraguaya is an essential element in any "Asado" (a social occasion where diverse cuts of grilled beef, pork and sausages are eaten, the Paraguayan version of the American barbecue), during the days of Semana Santa (Holy Week) especially at the Viernes Santo (Good Friday), and also at weddings. There's always a recurrent question that is made to the couples still unwed after many years: ¿Cuándo comemos la sopa? ("When will we eat the soup?").

Famous quotes containing the words interesting and/or facts:
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“In the fevered state of our country, no good can ever result from any attempt to set one of these fiery zealots to rights, either in fact or principle. They are determined as to the facts they will believe, and the opinions on which they will act. Get by them, therefore, as you would by an angry bull; it is not for a man of sense to dispute the road with such an animal.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
