3 stars for the sandwiches. Which were amazing. But the soup... Not a keeper. I'v had way better tomato soup than this..It was bland and I didn't really like the parm cheese in it.

LOVED this! So easy, the basil cheddar sandwhiches are amazing dipped in the soup. I used sourdough bread, and it was perfect and crunchy, although next time I'm going to try crusty french bread like the picture shows. YUM!
