This is even better than most of the so called Olive Garden Chicken Gnocchi soup recipes. Most of the other recipes use thyme, this uses fresh basil instead. My neice worked her way through college at the Olive Garden she says it's the best version she has ever had, and others who have had absolutely devour it. It's even better the next day.
