Most often, borscht contains bay leaves, black pepper and garlic.
Many housewives do not use anything else, believing that an abundance of additional components will only harm the soup.
But this is a misconception.
Even classic borscht can be transformed by adding special seasonings to it.
What options are worth paying attention to?
Chile
If you like spicy food, you can even make classic borscht piquant. Just add the required amount of ground chili to the recipe.
Ginger
Some cooks believe that ginger root can be an excellent ingredient for borscht, making it a little more original.
You can use either powder or peeled fresh root.
Smoked paprika
This spice is worth trying just once to truly fall in love with it. Yes, the borscht will become unusual when using it, but that's the whole charm.
For those who are not ready for such experiments, we can suggest using regular paprika.
