A few minutes before the end of cooking the borscht, some housewives throw a piece of butter into the pot of soup.

After this, the contents of the container are thoroughly mixed.

In most cases, the weight of the supplement is about 80 grams.

If butter has already been used in preparing the sauté, then approximately 50 grams of the product is added directly to the soup.
