Roasting plays a key role in giving the soup a special aroma, taste and, of course, color.

Therefore, it is important not only to prepare it correctly, but also to introduce it into the main composition of components in a timely manner.

How to add frying correctly

Everyone remembers that potatoes are added to the broth before other vegetables, as they require a long time to cook compared to the other ingredients.

After about five minutes, add the cabbage. This rule is relevant if you want to make the component soft. If you like crispy cabbage, you can wait.

But the frying is added seven minutes before it is fully cooked. We are talking about a preparation with carrots and onions. As a rule, this frying should contain a little tomato paste.

Fried beets with lemon juice or vinegar should be added even later - about 4-5 minutes before the soup is completely ready. In this case, the soup will retain its beautiful color.
