Innings

You can simply add the ingredients when serving the dish. This will indeed preserve the beautiful green color of the ingredients, but the soup itself will not have time to be fully saturated with aromas and flavors.

Soda

There is another simple method that will allow the components to retain their brightness. Experienced housewives first add a pinch of soda to the pan, wait a minute and add the herbs.

Thanks to this, the ingredients will remain green and tasty. A small amount of soda will not affect the quality of the soup itself.
