In the past year or so, I learned the word mirepoix. Now I am adding to my breadth of language with soffrito. Similar to the other comment who didn't use celery, for some reason I had got away from including carrots. So nice to know all the variations!

So many variations, it's easy to drop something. Carrots for me add a touch of earthy sweetness.

I always forget about celery. I had a now ex boyfriend who was allergic to celery and got out of the habit of using it, but it really does add a lot of flavour.

I used to really struggle with the taste, wondering how something so acrid could be adding to a dish, but through cooking it just mellows.
