Cooking Steps
Spread sourdough with garlic herb butter; place on a clean work surface, buttered sides up. Evenly top half the slices with 3-4 slices of cheddar. Top with remaining bread, buttered sides down.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and cook until bread is golden and cheese melts, 2-3 minutes per side. (Work in batches if necessary.)
Cut into small squares, similar to croutons.
RECOMMENDED: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag of soup in pot; cook for 20 minutes, then carefully remove. (Caution: Bag will be very hot.) Cut one corner with scissors and pour into a serving bowl.
MICROWAVE: Cut one corner of the bag; pour soup into a microwave-safe container. (Do not microwave in cup.) Cover loosely with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a paper towel. Microwave on high, stirring halfway through, 5-6 minutes. (Caution: Container and soup will be very hot.)
Dip grilled cheese croutons into soup.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavor: The soup divided reviewers — some found it creamy, comforting, and full of autumn flavor, while many felt it was bland and under-seasoned 🍲. Several noted the sage was overpowering; others felt there wasn't enough sweetness from the squash.
- Ease of prep: Heating the soup is quick and simple, and the grilled cheese croutons come together easily in a pan. Watch the bread closely — it can brown faster than expected.
- Suggestions: Add salt, pepper, and a drizzle of cream to boost the soup's flavor. Some preferred a milder cheese like provolone or Gruyère over sharp cheddar for the grilled cheese, as it melts more smoothly. One reviewer noted that heating the soup on the stovetop rather than the microwave gave a smoother, less grainy texture.
- Portions: The grilled cheese croutons pair well with the soup and make it feel like a more complete meal — don't skip them.
