Borscht is an ideal dish for lunch. The tasty and aromatic soup whets the appetite of many just by its appearance.

But at the same time, every housewife has her own special secret for preparing such a dish.

For example, some people add a little butter to the soup.

This should be done closer to the end of cooking.

At the same time, those new to cooking may be surprised by such a component in a familiar and classic treat.

But in fact, such an additional ingredient makes the taste more delicate and helps to “make friends” with all the other components in the borscht.

In this case, butter acts as a sauce – it evens out the taste. At the same time, the soup turns out richer and more satisfying.

How much oil exactly should you add? It all depends on the volume of the pan.

For a standard volume, a small piece of up to 80 grams is enough.

In this case, this amount can be divided into two parts. The first can be added to the frying, and the second to the finished borscht itself five minutes before removing the pan from the heat.
