Soup Joumou is traditionally served on January 1 to commemorate the day of Haiti’s liberation from France in 1804 when Haiti became the world's first independent Black republic and the only one to earn its freedom through a successful revolt. The soup was once a delicacy reserved for white enslavers but forbidden to the enslaved people who cooked it. After winning their independence, Haitians made a tradition of eating the soup each Independence Day to celebrate their freedom.
