3. Time to add salt

Any first dish is salted at different stages of preparation. At the very beginning there are fish soups. Vegetable, mushroom - in the middle, when the products become softer.

Meat soups are best salted at the last moment. Seasonings are also added five minutes before the end of the soup.

4. Correct product rotation

Each vegetable has its own cooking timer. For example, pickles or cabbage should be added to soup when the potatoes are in the middle stage of cooking.

Rice and vermicelli are the finishing ingredients. They cook quickly, no more than ten minutes. The main thing is not to digest, or the soup will turn into salty jelly.

5. The color of delicious soup

For a delicious soup, you need a blush. Onions and carrots will cope with this. Cut them into halves and fry until golden brown.

Vegetables must be cooked in a dry frying pan, and only then sent to the broth.

6. Liquid or puree soup

Everyone loves different soups, and you can cook to your taste and different consistency.

To make the soup a little thicker, add flour, which must first be fried in a pan. So it will give the soup a great aroma, and not the taste of raw dough.

7. Flour should change color

Then add to soup. There is another way to make thick soup using semolina. You don't need to fry it.

Just add a little semolina to the broth, but not in a slide, but gradually with stirring. So the cereal does not stick together, and the soup will become thicker and tastier.

8. Milk

If the soup becomes too thick, you can add boiling water or warm milk to it.

Cream will help to prepare soups-puree. They will give soups a creamy foam and richness.

9. Adding sweetness

To improve the taste, you can use the secret ingredient. Add some sugar to the soup, it will help the vegetables stay juicy.

In the preparation of borscht, sugar is able to restore its bright color. Only in fish soup it will not be appropriate.

10. Moments of calm

Before serving, the soup should be infused for about 15 minutes.

So it will become richer, more aromatic and tastier, and relatives and friends will not refuse the addition of delicious soup.
