  • Add the diced chicken breast to the pot, followed by the dried oregano and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes until it's no longer pink.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the gnocchi and cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the gnocchi are tender and cooked through.
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in the mozzarella balls and balsamic vinegar until the cheese is slightly melted.
  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
  • For extra creaminess, you can stir in a splash of heavy cream or some grated Parmesan cheese at the end.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chicken and vegetables based on your preferences.
  • This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats well on the stove.
