You may have seen or heard of experienced cooks adding ice cubes to a pot of soup.

Why this should be done was explained by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova .

It turns out that this simple culinary trick helps make first courses much tastier.

It’s worth using this life hack when soup, cabbage soup or borscht turns out too fatty.

It is very easy to understand that there is too much fat in the first course – this is indicated by the fatty film that floats on the surface of the dish and spoils the appetite with its appearance.

Usually housewives try to catch excess fat with a ladle, although this is not always successful.

Instead, try throwing frozen water in an ice cube tray into the pan – the ice will attract the fat, and you can easily scrape it off with a regular spoon.

As a result, you will get a much more delicious, appetizing and healthy dish.
