In Colombia, Changua is served for breakfast with bread either in the soup or on the side. It’s also known to help with a hangover, so I thought it would be great to share for the New Year just in case you had one champagne too many.

My Mom always made me this delicious soup when I didn’t feel well. It’s so simple, made with just a few ingredients – milk, scallions, cilantro and egg. Of course, it’s not just for breakfast, it can be served anytime of the day. Hope you enjoy.
