This soup usually whets the appetite just by its name.
Many people love aromatic, red and hearty borscht.
It's even better if you serve it with black bread, sour cream and aromatic herbs.
It’s definitely hard to find anyone who’s indifferent to such a treat.
At the same time, every housewife has her own secret for preparing delicious and aromatic borscht.
For example, some people add a little lemon juice during cooking. This may even seem strange. But in fact, this really does make the borscht much better.
The fact is that the juice of this citrus fruit is necessary to preserve the burgundy color of the borscht and the beets in it.
It is important not to overdo it. It is enough to take just one fruit.
Use only the juice from half a citrus fruit. It is best to add it when frying the beets. A couple of drops can be mixed in while cooking the dish.
At the same time, you need to make sure that no seeds or zest get into the borscht.
Earlier we told you how to properly add fried vegetables to borscht.
