Instructions
If you haven't already done so, drain and rinse your chickpeas and then add them to your Crockpot.
Add in the carrots, celery, onion, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, broth, olive oil, and parsley. Let cook on high for 4 hours of low for 6-7 hours. If using canned chickpeas, it really only needs to cook for about 2 hours on high to cook the veggies.
Add in the noodles and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the noodles reach your desired texture. Stir in the lemon juice if using as well as additional salt and pepper.
The pasta will really absorb a lot of the liquid so add additional broth/ water as needed.
