Dark bowl of milky soup with egg, herbs, and bread pieces.

Changua

Colombia · Latin America

Short description
Changua is a milk-and-egg breakfast soup served hot, often with bread soaking in the bowl.
Ingredients
Milk and water simmered with scallions and cilantro, then finished with poached eggs, bread, butter, and salt.
Cultural note
Its simplicity is part of the appeal: dairy, egg, herbs, and bread make a fast warming breakfast.
Common misconception
It is not a sweet milk porridge; herbs, egg, and salt make it a savory soup.
