Some housewives refuse to "spoil" borscht with additives that are not included in the classic recipe.
However, by doing so they deprive themselves of the opportunity to fully realize the potential of the dish.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the ingredients that will only make the soup better, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues at the BelNovosti online publication.
What can be added to borscht
Bell pepper
If you have juicy and fleshy sweet peppers, you should definitely add them to the borscht. The soup will be incredibly aromatic and delicious.
It is also a valuable source of antioxidants.
Pepper is added to the frying mixture.
Celery
Some people don't understand the taste of celery, but it's truly wonderful when mixed with other vegetables. It simply adds an extra layer of flavor to the soup and enriches its chemical composition.
Oil
Not everyone knows that butter will be beneficial even for first courses. The taste of borscht will improve many times thanks to a small piece of butter.
