Most menu-guide sites never catch on to any of this, which is exactly why so much of what gets written about Panera soups contradicts itself from one page to the next. Below is the current, verified breakdown, exact bowl, bread bowl, and group prices, along with the calorie counts for each, plus the sizing, timing, and dietary details that actually change what you get.

That’s eight soups in total, plus Mac & Cheese and Bacon Mac & Cheese. Two soups you might expect to see are missing: Panera Black Bean Soup and Ten Vegetable Soup. Plenty of other Panera Bread soup menu guides still list both as current, but they aren’t, which says a lot about how outdated most of that content actually is. Seasonal soups typically rotate every 8–12 weeks, so treat the three fall items above as temporary. See everything else that just launched in the new Panera menu for November 2026.

Panera Soup Sizes and Formats

Panera sells soup in three sizes: Bowl, Bread Bowl, and Group, the last one built for multiple servings. Separate cup prices are also listed below, because some cafes still offer a smaller portion as part of a “You Pick Two” combo, pairing soup with half a sandwich or half a salad.

Panera Soup Prices & Calories

Here’s the full breakdown of Panera soup menu prices by size, taken directly from Panera’s own current pricing sheet rather than recycled numbers from other sites. 

Panera Soup Bowls

Panera Soup Bread Bowls

Panera Bread Soups Group Serving

Notice the pattern: Every Panera Bread soup menu has the same price at a given size, whether that’s $8.99 for a bowl, $9.48 for a bread bowl, or $23.59 for a group order. Flavor doesn’t move the price at all; only the size does. Mac & Cheese, by comparison, costs more across the board, $10.99 for a bowl and $12.9 for Bacon Mac & Cheese, both ahead of every soup at that size.

What Time Does Panera Serve Soup?

Soup sits on the regular, all-day menu, so it isn’t limited to a lunch or dinner window at most locations unlike some items on the Panera breakfast menu, which have their own hours. Cafe hours themselves do vary by location, though, so what time does Panera serve soup really comes down to when your specific cafe is open.

Cafe Soup vs. Panera Soup at the Grocery Store

If you’ve searched panera soup at Walmart, panera soup at Costco, or panera soup at Publix, you’re actually looking at a different product line: Panera’s packaged, refrigerated retail soup, sold in sealed tubs under the Panera at Home brand and meant to be heated at home rather than served fresh in a café.

These tubs carry their own nutrition label, and the numbers don’t line up with the cafe menu above; a 16 oz retail tub of Broccoli Cheddar lists around 440 calories for its recommended serving, which isn’t the same recipe or portion as the cafe bowl in the table above. Always double-check which version, cafe or retail, a number you find is actually describing.
