This light and fresh soup features tender noodles, moist chicken, sweet corn, and an herby, creamy broth. But what really makes the soup shine is the parmesan roasted tomatoes on top.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat. Transfer the tomatoes to the prepared pan and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown and blistered. Set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan or stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and toss to coat. Cook for 1 minute, until the garlic and herbs are fragrant.
Add the chicken and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until you can easily shred the chicken with two forks.
Shred the chicken into the broth, or transfer the chicken to a shallow bowl, shred it, and return it to the pot. Return to a simmer. Add the noodles and corn and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to heat through. Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Cook for 1 minute to heat through.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the roasted tomatoes and parsley.
