- Add the dried thyme and basil, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, and add the shredded chicken and gnocchi. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the gnocchi float to the top and are tender.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can sauté the garlic with a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you prefer a thicker soup, feel free to add more heavy cream or reduce the amount of chicken broth. Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently on the stove.
