As we begin 2025, let’s take a moment to celebrate the 221st anniversary of Haiti’s independence. This date marks a major turning point in the country’s history and is traditionally celebrated with an emblematic dish: soup joumou.

More than just a recipe, this soup, inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, tells the story of a people and their fight for freedom.

On this special day, we invite you to discover this culinary tradition and share a piece of Haiti’s history.

Happy New Year to all!
