Changua to make it all better


Maggie's come down with a cold. Coughing, sneezing, runny nose and a not so good tummy to boot. So i fixed her my version of "changua", kind of like Colombian matzah ball soup. Here's the recipe for anyone wanting to give it a try:

Ingredients
1 package of Lipton Chicken Noodle soup
1 egg
1 1/2 cups of milk
1 1/2 cups of water
some diced onion
teaspoon of cilantro

In a medium saucepan heat up the diced onion, cilantro, water and milk till it boils.
While you're waiting crack an egg into a small bowl, make sure the yolk is intact.
Once the liquid has boiled stir in the contents of the dry soup mix, and gently slide the egg into the pan so it can poach.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Serve in a bowl with a nice piece of crusty bread, you'll [like her] be feeling better in no time!
