Family Recipe Friday: Phil and Judy's Tomato Basil Chicken Noodle Soup

Phillip David Lane

Today's recipe was sent to me by my cousin, Phillip Lane, and his wife, Judy.  Phil is the youngest son of Roy B. Lane and Mildred Wagner Lane.  This soup, Phil says, is a favorite of his and Judy's, and I think it's the perfect time of year to enjoy it.  Thanks, Phil and Judy!
