Soups overview
Understanding the Panera soup menu and sizes
Panera soup menu comparisons need more than an item name. A cup, bowl and bread bowl can represent materially different servings, so this guide treats each format as a separate record. The table currently includes Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup using values transcribed from the cited US nutrition guide.
Soup selection can rotate or vary by cafe. A source-guide row supports the serving and nutrition record, while a selected-cafe check is still needed for current availability and price. Dated promotions are labeled as offers rather than being reused as permanent menu prices.
Dated offer example
$4.99 Homestyle Chicken Noodle cup in Mix & Match
Panera's June 9, 2026 announcement listed the cup among participating choices at $4.99 each when ordering two or more eligible items. It is not a current standalone nationwide soup price.

Cup, bowl and bread bowl comparisons
The bread-bowl nutrition row includes the edible bread bowl when the source defines the serving that way. That is why calories, carbohydrates, sodium and protein can differ sharply from a cup or regular bowl.
Use the serving label before comparing one soup with another. A lower value for a cup does not describe the larger bowl, and a bread-bowl figure should not be presented as soup alone.
Availability
Seasonal soups, daily selection and local prices
Soup availability may change by season, cafe and time. This guide does not mark a soup current everywhere merely because it appears in a nutrition document. Check the chosen cafe's live menu before making a trip specifically for one item.
The dated $4.99 Mix & Match example on this page has conditions and is not a substitute for a current standalone soup price. Current local price evidence requires a separate pickup observation.
