Gimonade or soup joumou?

With all due respect I think this recipe is for gimonade not soup joumou.

when you add macarony with the vegetables it is soup joumou but once you add rice it's no longer soup it's gimonade.

P.S. If i am wrong please forgive me.

I am waiting for your reply

Murielle, try using Hubbard squash.

It's the large cut squash you find in the produce aisle at most supermarkets.

I have been using that for years.

I finish off the soup with frozen squash because it adds great color to the soup.

Try it and good luck to you!

When making soup joumou for new year's day, my granma usually brings joumou from Haiti.

She says that the frozen sqwash in the supermarket is just not the same a using the real Haitian joumou.

This year there is no Joumou from Haiti, will I still have a delicious soup from frozen swash or is she right about the taste?

Soup Joumou, Tradition, Symbolism, or just a plain old habit?

Lately, the consumption of soup joumou has become just an old habit for Haitians.

It seams we have forgotten its true history and purpose.

Soup Joumou - This soup was the touchstone of Haiti's fervent wish for peace and freedom

Soup Joumou was a symbol of communion and brotherhood
