Modern interpretations of borscht are distinguished by their originality and ingenuity, but sometimes the classic soup may be unrecognizable.
Some cooks cook the dish using lentils and quinoa, which makes it unusual.
Others introduce celery root and stalk, Jerusalem artichoke, ginger and other interesting ingredients.
However, we don’t even think about the fact that even in the classic recipe one component is superfluous.
What product are we talking about?
Many cooks agree that potatoes should not be added to borscht. This ingredient is added only because they want to make the dish more nutritious.
However, potatoes are not really needed in borscht.
If you try to make soup without it, the result will surprise you. The borscht will be richer and more delicious, since the potatoes will not "muffle" the taste of the other ingredients.
As a result, you can prepare a light and interesting soup that will appeal to many gourmets. It is worth noting that there is no need to introduce other components that should replace potatoes.
