Mirepoix is a chopped vegetable mixture, typically onions, carrots, and celery, sautéed as the flavor base for soups, stews, and sauces. As a culinary term borrowed from French, it refers to the aromatic foundation used to build depth in dishes. The word also appears in modern gastronomy writing and menus to indicate this classic soffritto-style base.
