The process of making borscht is quite complicated and somewhat tedious, so it is extremely important not to make mistakes, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
Due to culinary mistakes, the taste of classic soup is not as rich and bright as it should be.
Five Mistakes to Remember
Using hot water to cook broth
Experienced cooks know that meat used to make broth is not put into hot water. Otherwise, the soup base will not be rich and bright.
Therefore, use only cold water.
Lack of some components in the broth
In order for the borscht to be rich, you need to work hard on the broth. It is not enough to just boil the meat: you need to add additional components.
Therefore, do not forget to introduce vegetables and roots.
Fire
After the broth boils, reduce the heat to low. The soup should be simmered over low heat throughout the entire time.
If this is not done, the taste of the borscht will not be rich.
Boiled beetroot
Some people try to make borscht healthier, so they don't fry the vegetables, but add them to the soup raw. In the case of beets, this is a big mistake.
The taste of borscht may be hopelessly spoiled.
Introducing frying too early
You shouldn't add carrots and onions to the borscht too early. Otherwise, you can forget about the characteristic flavor.
