Changua is a typical breakfast in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. Until recently, I had never made Changua and I didn’t have a recipe. My mom loves this egg soup, so I gave her a call hoping that she had a recipe. Well, she did so now that’s two of mom’s recipes in a row.
In Bogotá, Changua is served for breakfast with bread on the side, but this soup can be eaten at any time of the day. It is also known to help with a hangover, so you can try it after your next party and let me know if it helped. 
Ingredients
(4 servings)
4 cups milk
2 cups water
4 eggs
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
3 scallions chopped
Salt and pepper
Bread with butter to serve
Directions
1. Place the milk and water in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Add the onion, salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the eggs without breaking them.
2. Let the eggs cook for 3 minutes and add the cilantro.
3. Serve warm with bread on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro.

This soup sounds like the perfect way to start the day complete with some crusty, yummy bread to mop up all the last drops.

I remember eating this when I lived in Colombia. The family I lived with served it with these big crackers that you broke up into the soup and they would soften. Good memories…:)
