Every year on Haitian Independence Day, Haitians celebrate their ancestors’ hard won freedom from slavery and French colonial rule by making soup joumou. Join Tank Ball as she explores what it means to use food to preserve the memory of home, and how the ritual highlights the complexities of living in a country whose government has so frequently antagonized Haiti in its historical quest for freedom.

I am so proud of you Tank. You are the epitome of a woman walking in her purpose. I’m loving this series! 💜💜💜
As an American of African descent, I am so proud of the people of Haiti and the rich African culture they preserved.
Haitian should be respected for their sacrifices. Stay up, Haiti 🇭🇹 much respect and love to my HAITIAN BRITHERS AND SISTERS
Yes 👏 I’m going to use this series in homeschooling my son. We live in Appalachia in East USA and cultures just aren’t covered in public school much here, and usually it’s false. Hope Haiti gets the respect they deserve, and through teaching the right things, they will ❤
I'm the only one in my building that isn't from Haiti, they aren't my neighbors, they are my family. Beautiful people with a beautiful culture. You're blessed.
Haiti liberated themselves! As an African American I say "ONE LOVE" to our Haitian brothers and sisters!
The original name of the island prior to Spanish colonization was “Ayti”,the name was given to the island by its original inhabitants the Tainos/Kalingo natives. After the revolution they basically gave their half of the island it’s original name back with a slightly different spelling.
Each one teach one
Yes, my ancestors in Haiti chose to honor the Tainos by reverting back to the former name! ❤️
Wow, that's so fitting. I'd always wondered about the huge name change after freedom
THIS is the comment I came for! Ayiti!!
Ayti/ Hayti-Toma Kiskeya Boho are all in honor of the originals.
Fun fact: the first Haitian president and a leader in the revolution Henri Christophe as a kid served as a drummer boy in Les Chasseurs Volontaires a unit made of free Haitian blacks that was part of the French forces that fought alongside the Americans in the Siege of Savannah Georgia during the American Revolution. Their service is commemorated by a monument in the city.
Yep. Recognize Heni!!
As a Jamaican I honour my Haitian culture keepers. Growing up in Canada, the Caribbean community came together as family, sharing everything including food. I remember eating this soup at my auntie’s house. It was similar to our Jamaican soup, but had its own wonderful uniqueness.
🎶PBS be in your DMs, saying you're pretty smart 🎶 🤎🤎🤎
Tank is a teacher. An EXCELLENT teacher! I'm 53yrs and she renders me a child when she speaks.....
As a Haitian-born American, I get so irate that US history hides how tied black people are to each other. It embarrassingly took me to leaving my home state FL and moving to TX, LA, and GA to learn of the significance to Haitians in American History and the closeness that Haitians share with African Americans. We are one people and colonization destroyed that knowledge
On a visit to Savannah, GA I saw a monument to Haitians who fought in the American Revolutionary War! I was shook and I'm not Haitian!
When I lived in Florida the Haitian women would never acknowledge or speak to me. I am so curious about culture because my family didn't go deep into the past or our history, just surface information, and now that my mom, grandma, and auntie have transitioned the older males in my family have not one word for us 😢😢😢😢. It's such a feeling of abandonment. But you can't beat some of them going to church every Sunday sitting on the front row 😭😭. Some cuzins too 😮😮😮
This whole episode makes me smile! I will have to share this with my students 😊
Recall the etymol.for black is white,when referring to my nationality we are EBONY people,stop collusions with apostates christendom and kitawalla holocausting movement lies by not teaching lies!
#PTSDAWARENESS
Her hair is stunning! I love this series.
I've visited Haiti but never had this soup. I pray the nation will recover from it's current political instability so I can return and savor this intriguing dish. Thank you for this segment, it was very insightful!
Anytime during/after a new year, find your local Haitian restaurant and they will have it
Soup joumou is also commonly on Sundays in Haiti. 🇭🇹
Well now I know why I was taught to make large pots of Gumbo as well as Red Beans and Rice. Because you feed the community.
And let me say, this does look delicious.
Gumbo and Red beans and rice are Foundational Black-American cuisines created here in Louisiana!
Great job Tank, D Ray, LPB, and PBS. As former host and co-producer of PBS Nourish, this is a great series in the making.
I never knew the history of this dish. I have had the Dominican and Puerto Rican versions of this and it's so delicious and hearty. You can feel the love the person put into the soup. I clicked on this video so fast I want to try this!
Wow Dominicans and Puerto Ricans make this too? Wow that’s awesome to know! 😃
@@jazmynbrown6820 I know that Jamaicans do.
@@jazmynbrown6820Also @758🇱🇨
The hairstyles are absolutely African Royal! Ms Tank is beautiful!
Soup jhoh-mou. Literally translates in Saint Lucian 🇱🇨(kweyol) creole to Pumpkin Soup.
Our languages food and culture have similarities and differences to that of Haiti.
This, is a delicious dish.
I would love the recipe! Wow!
I didn't know that St Lucian's spoke Creole, as well! I could probably understand you when you speak Kweyol, as I speak Kreyol from Haiti! 🥰
@@mizzpoetrics
I didn't either until I started watching a RUclipsr channel called TerriAnn's Kitchen.
She's from St. Lucia and one day she said something in English then said what it translated to in Kreyol.
Really? Thanks for the insight
Guadeloupe, Dominca, and I think Mauritius speaks some form of Kreyol/creole
I’m Louisiana creole and when I tell you I cannot wait to make this….. I mean… my heart is overflowing with unimaginable joy❤ Thank you so much for sharing!
So lovely to see Haitian culture respected for the beautiful people that they are?
I'm thrown off by how the pot was not on top of a hot stove and cold noodles was added. This is truly not done at all homes. This is for demonstration purposes. Wow to the add of green and yellow bell peppers in the soup. That is different. My family makes the soup with meat, blended squash, scotch bonnet peppers, potatoes, carrots, turnip, celery, cabbage, spaghetti and/or rigatoni. Amazingly simple and satisfying.
Her reaction when she started eating that soup. And singing was just lovely 😍
I love that this is a recipe passed down and it has such a depth of meaning. Idk if I could handle the heat, but I would love to try this someday!
It's not meant to be spicy. The pepper we add to the soup just adds flavor 🙂👌Enjoy!
Haitian food taste so good 🎉
I love that song playing in the background. Went to savannah music festival in 2019 Layla McCalla played that song
Thank you for mentioning the name! I just looked her up and she is great.
@@galadrieltree yes she is
I would love for her to visit South Carolina the Gullah geechee people
I just LOVE Tanks voice for the commentary. Then the personality to boot. Stellar job queen!
I have a Haitian husband and I’ve learned to make this soup! I make it every year!!!! Love it!!!! HI MAGGIE ❤
You can also see Haitian influence in some of the architecture according to an NPR piece. This is a great series with a phenomenal host.
Architecture in New Orleans.
I heard Nigerians say that they could spot Nigerian ironworks in the architecture. But idk. Also, various influences.
Same colonizers people. French and spanish.
I show up for Tank, anytime. I can listen to her voice ALLLLLLLLLL DAY!!!
I am Haitian🇭🇹Thank you so much for sharing our history. Eating now🍜🍲Jan 1, 1804💪🏾
That looks good and I would love to try it! 😍 The Haitians are an amazing, resilient, and powerful people. If it wasn't for France and that embargo, Haiti would be a well-developed country and an economic force.
As a Nola native, I love this show!👏🏾
Sis, Thank you for your soul-inspired grace and fortitude! Thank you to the Queen Mother for passing traditional and confident history food forward!
That looks so good! Thank you teaching us about this very important dish ^_^
I really LOVE this series. Wonderful information and rich history.Tank does such a great job hosting and interviewing
Love to see it. Long live Haiti!
This series is brilliant, ....important! More of it please! ❤
Manbo Maggie! It's so amazing to see you getting your flowers. Tank this is wonderfully done!
I've always wanted to try soup joumou. I need some better Haitian friends 😂😅
😂 if you have any Haitian restaurants around your way, they usually have it for New Year’s Day if not on Sundays. But make sure you go to a spot that cabies go to. Just trust!
Florida Haitian cuisines are very very essential in the central and south Florida culture as well!
Yes, indeed!! Antilles in Orlando’s has the best rice, banaan, & griot I’ve had.
VERY!!! IM CRAVING TASSO TURKEY AND LEGUMES NOW...LO,
Always rooting for you!!!! wonderful job!!!!
Tank was tearing that food up at the end LOL. But, seriously, I really like this series.
So good. Ache and love indeed
Maggi! Beautiful seeing you....I remember your soup!
Hi how are you Neesa! Can you share Ms. Maggie social media ?
I am trying to send her a message
Tank, I love this series. I’ve seen you live in Huntsville and just love your natural voice. ❤ Would loooovvveee to hear you speak in your New Orleans accent because its just so black and beautiful!
So proud of our Haitian brothers and sisters. They are a great people despite the challenges they have faced. We, Blacks throughout the diaspora, honor Haitians for their courage, Revolution, culture, and spirit.
I am proud to be Haitian and I learned so much about my country. The struggles of yesterday and today. Thank you Tank for this valuable lesson learned.
Fantastic video. Such a good idea to focus on food to tell the story of slavery, revolution, freedom and perseverence. And I teared up when Ball choked talking about what this meant for her.
Everytime I see this lovely sister's face I have to watch the video. She has the best videos, always something captivating delivered in a wholesome manner. Giving thanks, and keep up the amazing work.
I get me a cup of soup joumou from a local restaurant here in FL each year.
Tank, this episode made me hungry. Hungry to know where I'm from, what are my roots? This series might have sparked me on a journey to discover where my family originated and some of the rituals they may have taken part in.
What a beautiful episode! ^w^
I can feel the energy in this documentary, love this!
Omg we have this very same soup in Guyana too 🇬🇾 🇬🇾 🇬🇾
What do we call it in Guyana? Cause last night I made a bad cook up with pumpkin inside. Bad bad bad
@@providenceartdesign😂😂😂lol
Wonderful episode! So proud of Tank and her success on this show. Although I was aware of the history of the soup already, I had to tune in and it was well worth the watch.
Beautiful stories, food and information. Thank you for producing and sharing.
I loved this, my new partner is of Haitian decent I'm going to make this for them this NYE I really hope they like it
I love you Tank! See you in Denver.
Beautiful! Merci beaucoup
Whether we are African, Afro-American, or Latino, we must teach and emphasize to our descendants the impact of the courage and sacrifice that the Haitian people had on the world. They offered asylum and granted citizenship to every enslaved person who managed to escape and reach their shores. Despite being forced to pay France, they did not hesitate to finance and assist all those who were fighting for freedom. They welcomed Simón Bolívar after his first defeat and allowed him to recover and reorganize in Haiti, enabling him to return to South America with strength and win the revolution there. This is why you see the colors red and blue on the flags of some countries in South America. Greece, which was under Turkish domination and seeking to finance its own revolution, asked for financial help. Since Haiti couldn't send money due to its obligation to pay France, they sent tons of coffee instead. Coffee was the black gold of that era, and the resale of coffee allowed them to finance their revolution. Haiti is the true symbol of freedom, and it's a history that the powers of this world don't want you to know."
This series is so damn good!!
That looks delicious
Maggie Gomes cooking it up gave me flashbacks to watching Miss. Laura cook it up on BET while the comics did their thing on stage.
Proud of my Haitian people. Haitian man in Canada.
Thank you for sharing!!! Sistah I love, love, love your hair - you bettah werk Queen!
Great watch, love your work. 😊
This video was beautifully done. When my mom makes Soup Joumou people from everywhere and many nationalities come get their bowl. It is very popular in South Florida.
Tank, this series is fantastic.Thanks to you, the participants & PBS for producing this important series
I like this woman's energy ⚡ and aura. 👑🥇🗽🌠🎇🍾🌞🌈
Thank you PBS. This is amazing
I am so happy I found this. You are doing an awesome job Tank.
One of the highlights of living in South Florida has been learning about Haitian culture. Shoutout to my Haitian friends who have made me vegan soup joumou 🥹♥️
💓💓💓💓 from Haïti
Beautifully done Tank. Inspirationally insightful as well ❤
I love this history you’re teaching! 🙏🏾
I appreciated this. So beautifully done.
Thinking about Dr.Peter Tosh and what he said in the song #STEPPINRAZOR⚖️
Your smile makes me smile 😊
Pretty, pretty smart and pretty fantastic 😍😍😍
It’s wild how many Louisiana people don’t know they’re culture has deep Haitian roots. Many don’t know or they choose to deny it. Everytime you ask them if they’re Haitian they get angrily offended.
Not all of us, but yes I agree they claim creole but leave Haitian blood out. Its insanity.
Baton Rouge is a Haitian word the food the Mardi Gras we've been doing that in Haiti iv been to New Orleans reminds me of Haiti the colorful buildings and all
@@Freverprincess I didn’t even know that was a Haitian word thanks for that info
@@Freverprincessbaton rogue and Mardi Gras are French words. But the population of New Orleans was 50% Haitians shortly after the Haitian Revolution. So if they’re from New Orleans it’s is almost impossible after more than 10 generations past… that they aren’t Haitian.
@@jeanettehenry4297it’s a Haitian word too
Ayiti, the real birthplace of himan rights & freedom ❤🖤
Love this series!!! ❤❤
I absolutely ❤❤❤❤❤ this series!!! Louisiana in the building..
Shout to my Haitian brothers and sisters and all black people in the Diaspora
Love love love you Tank! You’re so beautiful and talented and I can listen to you all day long!! ❤
