Changua – Colombian Breakfast Soup
Evelina
No wonder this soup is so popular in many panaderias (bread stores) of Bogota – it’s a great way to use up all the stale bread! This soup is also known to cure hangovers; however, the idea of “hangover food” in general is a fad, in my opinion. Just sleep it off. No food will save your semi-drunk, nauseous ass.
Ingredients:
- 1 liter milk;
- 1 liter water;
- 6 eggs;
- a few bunches of fresh cilantro (stems and leaves);
- 4 scallions, chopped;
- salt;
- pepper;
- toasted bread
Steps:
- Bring the milk and the water to a boil. Add the scallions, salt, and pepper and cook for 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and carefully add the eggs without breaking the yolks.
- Poach the eggs for 3 minutes.
- Add the cilantro.
- To serve, place chunks of toasted bread and an egg in six bowls, then ladle in the soup. Garnish with more fresh cilantro.
