Even if you consider yourself a fan of classic borscht, sometimes it’s worth introducing new ingredients into the dish.

This will always allow a familiar dish to reveal new gastronomic facets.

You will also be able to add new flavors to a classic soup, says chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.

What components can be added to the dish?

Ginger root

This option will especially appeal to those who lack a slight hint of piquancy in their borscht. It is better to cut the ginger into thin slices.

In this case, borscht will become even more healthy.

Tomato paste

Not all cooks consider this component essential, but borscht definitely becomes better with its use. The advantage of tomato paste is that it gives a pleasant shade of taste and preserves a beautiful color.

Butter

Some people are afraid that borscht made with butter will become too fatty, but this is a misconception. The component helps to "even out" the taste of the soup.
