Put potatoes or cucumbers in the brine first: mistakes every second housewife makes

The main advantage of pickle is its unusual salty and sour taste.

It is achieved due to a mandatory ingredient - pickled cucumber.

But in order to cook a delicious soup, you should know the sequence of adding ingredients to it.

Very often, housewives make the same mistake: they put potatoes and cucumbers at the same time or put the cucumber in the broth first.

Why do you need to put potatoes first?

Don't forget that canned cucumbers are quite salty and sour.

If a raw potato interacts with such an ingredient, it will not cook well.

The reason is that due to the "acidity" the tuber "tans" quickly. As a result, it will take a long time for the vegetable to be fully cooked.

You should also not forget about the different level of readiness of products: if a pickle is already ready for use, then raw potatoes need a long cooking time.

Thus, the components should not be in the brine at the same time.

Chopped cucumbers should be sent to the soup at the final stage of its preparation: about five minutes before removing the pan from the stove.

In addition, the cucumber must be peeled: only the pulp should be used.
