Notes: If you didn't make the Slow Cooker Whole Chicken (shame on you) you can substitute rotisserie chicken or cook up a couple of thighs or a breast in the broth then set them aside to cool while you complete the soup; then remove the meat and cut into pieces. You can substitute ditalini or even broken up angel hair pasta for the pastina if you like. Just don't ever add the pasta until last because it will absorb all the broth.
