Allergens
The café soup contains wheat and milk. The sourdough bread bowl contains wheat and may contain sesame.
The café allergen guide lists wheat, even though Panera’s grocery version is sold as gluten free. Do not treat the grocery label as a café allergy guide. Shared preparation also means the café cannot guarantee an allergen-free serving.
Ordering tips
- Choose a cup for 200 calories or a bowl for 300 calories.
- The bread bowl serving has 155 g carbohydrates; compare the complete serving rather than soup alone.
- Check the café allergen guide before ordering, particularly if avoiding wheat.
Compare soup menu or Broccoli Cheddar Soup or Chicken Noodle Soup.
