If the dish turns out too sour, then you definitely shouldn’t despair and pour out the soup.

There are a few simple ways to improve the taste of the first course so that your guests will even ask for more.

The easiest option is to add more water. But keep in mind that this method is only relevant if the soup is thick and rich.

In addition, fried carrots will save the situation. You can also add some potatoes to the borscht to remove excess acid.

A pinch of baking soda will also help. It is important not to overdo it, otherwise there is a risk that the soup will become tasteless.

Boiled eggs will absorb everything extra perfectly. For a 3-liter saucepan, only 2 eggs are enough, which should be chopped and added to the dish.

Housewives also know that rice will help in this situation.

But this does not mean that it should become one of the ingredients of borscht. The washed grain should be wrapped in a gauze bag and put into a saucepan for half an hour, and then taken out. The borscht will no longer be sour.
