'It is a celebratory dish, deeply rooted in Haitian identity.' Soup joumou, known as 'independence soup,' is a cultural staple in Haiti. Today, it’s one of the few points of enduring national pride at a time of deepening crisis in the Caribbean nation.

Celebrations like Carnival that once took center stage on the island have withered due to deep gang violence tearing apart the nation.
