Panera Bread Broccoli Cheddar Soup
A creamy soup combining broccoli with aged cheddar, served by the cup, bowl, or in a sourdough bread bowl.
Broccoli Cheddar Soup is one of Panera Bread’s best-known soups. Portion choice matters: the cup, bowl, and bread bowl each have distinct nutrition totals.
What’s in the soup
The current soup is a creamy broccoli cheddar recipe centered on:
- Broccoli
- Aged cheddar
- Creamy soup base
Price
Prices must be compared by size because a cup, bowl, and bread bowl are not equivalent portions. Typical price: About $5–$7 for a cup; about $7–$11 for a bowl or bread bowl.
Prices vary by café and are not set nationally. Figures are typical US ranges. Confirm in the Panera app for your location. Official nutrition guides do not list prices.
