Changua (Colombian Egg Breakfast Soup)

Changua is a traditional breakfast soup with poached eggs from the Andean area of Colombia. It is a light soup made with milk and flavored with some green onions and cilantro. To make it extra filling, place some toasted bread in your bowl before adding the soup!

Ingredients

• 3 cups water
• 3 cups milk
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup chopped green onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 eggs
• Toasted bread, to serve

Instructions

• Over low heat simmer water, milk, cilantro, green onion, garlic, salt, and pepper for 5 minutes.
• Crack one egg into a small bowl or cup. Add it to the soup. Continue with the remaining eggs. Poach the eggs by simmering for 3 minutes, if you like the yolk runny, or for 5 minutes, if you want the yolk firm.
