Der Rhinelander Lentil Soup image

For my 10th birthday my parents took me on a three hour drive to Der Rheinlander restaurant, in Portland, OR, for my birthday. Very big hit. This savory soup was between the fondue and the main dish. It certainly woke up the appetite, I remember wanting more of everything.
