Chef and TV presenter Nick Toet is cooking the Freedom Soup this year. Toet is known for his own YouTube channel EtenMetNick and the television program Cakes of Babel. The soup will be distributed in cans in the run-up to Liberation Day and can be made and eaten by everyone on May 5, including during the Freedom Meals that take place throughout the country.
For Nick, food is the way to bring people together. Because, according to him, there is attention and room for conversation with each other at the table: “By listening to each other, you find out how someone is doing.” He hopes that people will eat together on Liberation Day and, above all, enjoy his soup together, which he believes ultimately connects them the most.
For the recipe for the Freedom Soup, the chef was inspired by his grandmother’s tomato soup, where he was an Asian touch added with Korean chili flakes, miso and spring onion. He prefers to keep his recipes simple. This is reflected in the Freedom Soup: not too complicated and therefore accessible to everyone. The more people can make the soup, the more people can enjoy it on May 5 while celebrating freedom together.
Freedom meals
For the fifth year in a row, people can join the Freedom Meals throughout the Netherlands on May 5. The meals come in all shapes and sizes. From socializing with the neighborhood to company canteens; everything is allowed. They have one common goal: a special meeting at the dining table, where the themes of freedom and unfreedom are central. Topics that are ideally suited to discuss on Liberation Day. The Freedom Meals are made possible by Vfonds.
