A fan named Marc Lag asked the question of why Haitians eat soup joumou on Independence Day. Well Haitian Soup Joumou is more than just soup its our independence day soup! During colonial times, by law, only the French were allowed to eat soup. They had a tradition of eating soup on New Year’s Day, while the lower class slaves were prohibited. For this reason, when Haiti did declare its independence on New Year’s Day, this tradition developed as a means by which Haitians could demonstrate, in a small way, that everyone is equal. So everybody eat up that soup joumou!!!
