You need to get a puree: in this form, the product will go perfectly with soup.

Of course, you can cut spicy garlic with a knife. Or you can crush the cloves with a garlic press. But in these cases, the flavor of the ingredient will be worse.

Add to borscht in time

The hot ingredient should be added to the soup exactly 120 seconds before the end of cooking.

If you follow this rule, the garlic flavor will not be too strong. Nor too weak.

The aroma of the vegetable will come out well without overshadowing the tastes of other ingredients.
