Sounds good.. although I haven't tried it yet. I am more curious why it is called Rhinelander Lentil Soup? Is there a significance to the name?

10 gallon,Rheinlander is a Portland OR restaurant opened by Horst Mager in 1963, he built a small empire of themed restaurants here in Portland, L'Omellette, Couch Street Fish House, Chataeu La France, Odyssey, Little Blarney Castle, and Tivoli Garden. All were special elegent but comfortable places. For some reason he sold or lost most of them by the early 1990's (still a 30 year run). The Rheinlander and "Gustavs" are still in operation under the misguided guidance of his heirs, they are run as "stores" or "Units" and are a mere ghost of what Horst had created.

I made this tonight and my dad pronounced it "really good". It is very tasty. :) I like the bacon and the flour for thickening. Wouldn't have thought of that.

I made a few changes to it based on it. I probably ended up with 2 cups of carrots and onions, chopped fine, so the bacon never really browned, even after 15 minutes of cooking. I'll brown it ahead and remove it while I saute the vegetables the next time.

I used a quart of "kitchen pantry" vegetable broth, and used the entire 1 pound package of lentils. Needed more salt that way.
