Changua, the Colombian Egg Drop Soup // Tasty Bit 68

Changua is a Colombian egg drop soup from the Cundinamarca and Boyaca regions of Colombia where it is colder than the rest of the country. It is typically eaten for breakfast and the entire country enjoys it as a hangover cure, even the children. It is crazy. I have been eating Changua my entire life and loving it. The original recipe calls for equal parts milk and water with egg, green onion, cilantro, oil, salt and is ladeled over crusty white bread. It sounds a little strange, but I think it is quite an elegant dish. It is also very warming and satisfying. I had never made it myself because my mother always made it for me. It wasn't until I decided that I had to share it with you that I forced my mother to break down the exact recipe and technique. It wasn't easy. The recipe and technique, however, are super simple. I hope that you are daring and try this. If you like egg, green onion and cilantro, you will love this simple soup.
Recipe for Changua: 1 serving
1 egg separated
1-2 green onions
3 T cilantro
1 cup water or chicken stock
1/2 cup milk
salt
1 T olive oil
Crusty bread... French bread works nicely
Combine onions, cilantro, stock and oil in a pot
Heat on medium and bring to a boil
add egg white and stir
Beat egg yolk(s) with milk
Lower heat on soup to low
Add yolk/milk mixture and stir for 1-2 minutes
Add salt and taste
serve over torn up crusty bread

I recommend chopping the green onion and putting in the cilantro before serving soup

this looks awesome.....I have got to try this......one question......can you serve it cold?.....it looks like it would be refreshing on a hot day as well!

[@claudiastastybits]

Hike with Mike I usually drink Changua when my brain needs some help after a few too many, when I have a cold or when my soul needs warming... so I probably vote for hot, but you should try it cold and tell me what you think!

[@luiscarlosqg]

No, serve it hot.

[@thill6156]

You don't beat the eggs or oil
