For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Feel free to add other vegetables you have on hand, such as spinach, kale, or green beans. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth or a high-quality store-bought broth. If you don't have ditalini pasta, any small pasta shape will work. A swirl of pesto adds a lovely finishing touch.
