Borscht is a popular dish, but not everyone can prepare a truly aromatic, rich and tasty soup.

Still, you need to know some culinary tricks to surprise your family with the unique taste of homemade borscht.

For example, few people add a piece of butter to the pan. Some may find this decision strange, but it is quite justified.

You need to add oil if you want to get a more balanced taste of the ingredients. This borscht turns out softer and creamier.

In addition, if lean meat was chosen for preparing borscht, then a small piece of butter will only add fat to the soup.
