Colombia: Changua

Colombia: Changua

In the central Andres regions of Colombia a hearty breakfast often included changua — a soup made with water, milk and potatoes that’s typically served with an egg on top. When the soup boils, a fresh egg is cracked over it without breaking the yolk and then allowed to cook in the hot broth. It may be served with a sprinkling of fried scallions or cilantro as well as stale bread (which is softened in the soup) and perhaps even some pieces of cheese melted into it.

Matthew 7

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
