The recipe for borscht may differ depending on the taste preferences of the tasters, but some fundamental points always remain the same.
For example, when cooking soup, it is extremely important to follow the correct order of adding ingredients.
It is especially important to watch how you add vegetables. If you make a mistake, the borscht may not turn out as luxurious as you expect.
How to properly add vegetables to borscht
It is worth noting that the first vegetable component to go into the pot with borscht should be the potatoes. The product needs enough time to become soft and tasty.
After the potatoes, it's cabbage's turn. It's worth considering that the chopped vegetable needs to be boiled for at least ten minutes. Otherwise, the cabbage will remain hard, and the borscht will not be fully rich.
Seven minutes before the end of cooking, add the fried carrots and onions. There is no point in adding the ingredients earlier, otherwise the frying will simply lose its aroma and taste.
But beets fried with lemon juice or vinegar are added to the borscht just five minutes before the end of cooking.
