Despite the fact that you can add ingredients to borscht at your own discretion, sometimes this approach backfires.

The fact is that some products can worsen the quality of the dish.

Sometimes the taste quality deteriorates even from completely familiar ingredients.

What products should not be added to borscht

Potato

Many people add potatoes to almost all soups for satiety, consistency and taste. However, borscht already has a large number of ingredients, so there is no urgent need for potatoes.

Experienced cooks believe that potatoes make the taste of borscht more "blurred", depriving it of its characteristic brightness.

Vegetable oil

Many people will be surprised by the fact that vegetable oil can spoil the taste of borscht, especially if we are not talking about the highest quality product.

If you want to get the most delicious and rich borscht, then you should fry the vegetables in lard. This will make the soup incredibly aromatic.

However, it is worth remembering that there are certain requirements for lard. For example, it should not be stale, otherwise the borscht will be spoiled.
