Many housewives prefer to cook soup so that it will last for several days.
However, in reality, any dish, including soups, has its own optimal shelf life.
Culinary expert of TUT NEWS, cook and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you how long it takes to eat the whole borscht without leaving any traces.
Borscht is perhaps the most favorite soup among Russians.
However, after just 72 hours, the soup, which is cooked in meat broth, begins to gradually turn sour.
And if smoked meats were added to the dish during preparation, then such soup must be eaten within a maximum of two days.
Borscht without meat is stored for two days, the same applies to soups cooked with fresh herbs. Therefore, it is recommended to decorate soups with herbs immediately before serving.
If you want to extend the shelf life of the soup you have prepared, then during the cooking process you need to add a little citric acid, which will act as a preservative.
