Lentil Soup with Mint

I felt this soup should really have been two soups: a summer soup with lemon and mint, and a winter soup with leeks and sage.

I have tried the summer version now (no leeks and sage, white wine instead of red, and carrots instead of parsnips) and that tastes fine. When I get to make the winter version, I will leave out mint and lemon juice, and take a bit more wine to compensate for the missing lemon.

It is quite good, not too heavy and quite aromatic. It looks colorful, too.
