Juneteenth is a celebration of resilience. It commemorates the day that word of Emancipation finally reached the last of those still enslaved in Galveston, Texas. The announcement took place on June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. Within the black community, it has become a 155+ year tradition to host celebrations to recognize collective resilience, perseverance, honor ancestors, and express unmitigated joy on Juneteenth in remembrance of that day.

Juneteenth marks an important milestone in American history, and we all must take a moment to recognize its significance. Since Juneteenth is around the corner, I have curated a list of recipes from some of the most amazing black Culinary Partners here at SideChef.

Tuscan White Bean Soup

This Tuscan White Bean Soup is not only deceptively healthy - it's also full of flavor and completely plant-based. My trick to a creamy dairy-free soup? Simply puree some of the beans and add them back into the pot!
