Mirepoix isn't meant to be a dish, as I understand it. It's the base to other dishes.

In other words, a recipe might basically say, like, "step two: prepare a mirepoix; step three: etc."

Carmy's mirepoix broth thing seems like it's just supposed to be a super basic first course, warming the diners up to the rest of their meal thing. The broth is probably delicious, but the goal is just to literally warm up the diners and get them ready to eat.
