Some housewives sometimes confuse borscht with ‘hodgepodge’, adding everything in a row to it..
Borscht does not tolerate this approach..
As a result, the taste of the soup will noticeably decrease, notes our magazine’s culinary expert, chef Yulia Arkhipova.
What ingredients are best not to add to borscht?
Potatoes
This fact will surprise many, because in most cases it is difficult to imagine borscht without potatoes. However, it is precisely because of this ingredient that the taste of the soup is not as rich and bright as we expect.
Celery
Many people began to care about proper nutrition, so they began to actively buy celery. But this is an extremely specific product with a peculiar shade of taste.
It is not very suitable for making borscht and will clearly ‘stand out’ from the overall picture.
Ginger
Some people don’t know how to use ginger in cooking, so they start adding it to all the dishes they know. But this can only spoil the borscht, since ginger root is clearly not suitable for this soup.
