Panera Bread announced that it has added two new sourdough melts to its sandwich menu, along with a deal for National Soup Month, which takes place in January. The new sourdough melts are made with Panera’s Country Rustic Sourdough Bread and are “toasted to showcase the feel-good flavor of classic grilled cheese,” said a company press release.

The QSR chain is also celebrating National Soup Month with this sandwich launch. For guests who “want to warm up even more,” for a limited time, guests can complete their meal with a cup of soup for just $1 on the Panera app with purchase of an entree.

The two new sourdough melts are:
