Soup and sandwich fans, your dreams are about to be fully realized. Panera is putting a new spin on an old favorite by introducing their limited-time Ciabatta Dippers — a pair of sandwiches designed specifically for dipping. After years of customers raving about the simple joy of dunking Panera’s signature sandwiches into their soups, the brand is now serving up two new options for that exact purpose: the French Dipper and the Spicy Chicken Dipper.

Available at Panera locations through early January, these sandwiches come with a perfect portion of soup for dipping, so you can ditch the spoon and dive right in. It’s soup season, so feel free to go nuts.

The French Dipper features marinated steak, melty provolone and asiago, and a garlic aioli drizzle, all nestled in a warm Ciabatta roll, served alongside a dipping portion of Panera’s Bistro French Onion Soup. If you’re craving some heat, the Spicy Chicken Dipper offers a grilled chicken sandwich topped with creamy salsa verde spread and melted provolone, paired with a dipping portion of the brand’s classic Creamy Tomato Soup.

With the temperatures dipping and soup season in full swing, these dunkable duos provide the perfect comfort food experience, available at Panera for a limited time.
