Is mirepoix overrated as a soup base?
>>7883467
No.
I personally can't stand celery so for me it definitely is
mirepoix isnt overrated for anything savory
>>7883467
Yes. Carrots are hard as shit and don't even taste good, and celery just tastes like water.
Onion + garlic is all you need
>>7883467
If that's your mirepoix mix, you have too much celery, always use 2x the amount of onion and carrot at celery, that said, to andwer your question: no.

Hell no, the fuck is wrong with you? Also the ratio in your pic is all fucky, and although leek can be used, it generally isn't part of mirepoix.
Cajun trinity and sofrito get honorable mentions, though.

volume
>>7884401
Carrots weigh a lot more than onions and celery so I would say volume.
>>7884401
That ratio is by weight.
However, since the veggies involved all have about the same density volume just so happens to be close enough.
