The FoodOboz editorial team shares useful tips from chefs on what spices to avoid when cooking soups.

Spicy seasonings

Cooks say that you shouldn't season fresh soup even with ground black pepper, and you should be even more careful with spicy seasonings, such as chili peppers, horseradish, wasabi, ginger, and curry, which will make the soup very spicy. It is better to add onions, garlic, and celery.

Dried dill and parsley

If you add dried herbs to a vegetable soup or cereal, you will get a hay flavor. Therefore, for a pleasant flavor during cooking, it is better to use fresh herbs or parsley root.

Lavender, ground ginger

Lavender can be added to desserts, tea, and ice cream; dried ground ginger is suitable for cooking meat, namely chicken and thighs.

Mint
