Now, Costco is officially leaning into that vibe with its latest heat-and-serve combo. The warehouse has officially introduced grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato basil soup in the deli department, and the internet has feelings about it. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">According to Costco, the grilled cheese uses soft brioche bread and a blend of cheeses that\u2019s meant to melt beautifully without getting greasy or soggy. The soup, rich with creamy tomato and basil notes, is designed to complement that sandwich with just enough acidity and herbaceousness to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But what really tells you this resonates isn\u2019t the ingredient list, it\u2019s the reaction online.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">On Instagram, Costco fans were already celebrating before they\u2019d even taken a bite.
