Oh I love Changua!! It’s one of those things my body caves during the northeast winter or when I’m sick! And @Adriana, my mom (also from Bogota) puts chopped up potato in it as well!

Great recipe!
My grandmother’s version (she was from Alban, Cundinamarca, Colombia) included one garlic clove, crushed.

My parent’s are from Bogota and my mother used to make this every sunday morning. It was so good. The only difference is that she would add chopped up potatoes and pieces of regular bread. I have no idea if this was her little twist on the recipe or if that’s how she was raised making it. Either way, its the best thing to eat in the morning.

I remember my family in Bogota making this when I was young and my mom still makes it here in the states on occasions. Yup, I had mine with the soggy bread too! Never knew it was for hang overs! LOL! Now, I know what to make for my husband!

OMG!!! I can’t believe you actually have a proper recipe for Changua!! LOL I’ve been eating this since I was 5!! My aunt used to make it, then my mom adapted the recipe but never felt right. Shame my wife doesn’t enjoy it as much as I do, but yes OMG is this good hangover food!! Not that I drink, but I’ve heard that from my brother, who does drink alot, and my dad, who used to drink, not heavily but enough to get a hangover.

The only difference with my aunt’s recipe is she actually takes good brown bread and puts it in the soup, so you have the soggy breadiness and eggs with the onions and everything else, just a different way to try it, as that’s the way I’m used to eating it, is with the bread already in.

Really easy and REALLY good!! This is the ONLY way I eat poached eggs.

I absolutely love this breakfast, it is my favorite, especially with white cheese, preferably Tropical(Spanish white frying cheese). My mom always makes it when she visits:)
