January 1st is our independence day. We are celebrating 218 years since our ancestors declared Haiti as the first black Republic. This year is special as our traditional joumou soup has been awarded protected cultural heritage status by UNESCO. Joumou soup is a hearty blend of pumpkin, potatoes, squash, beef, chili peppers and other things. And this is the first time that any cultural item from Haiti has received the designation. Be proud of your heritage and enjoy your soup joumou ✨
