With fall setting in, Panera is celebrating the start of soup season with the introduction of the new Hearty Fireside Chili and new Rustic Baked Potato Soup alongside the return of the fan-favorite Autumn Squash Soup.
Here’s a closer look at the brand’s new and returning fall flavors:
- New Hearty Fireside Chili: A hearty chili loaded with a rich and savory blend of beef, kidney beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, and green chili peppers, all simmered in a chili-and-cilantro-flavored broth.
- New Rustic Baked Potato Soup: Featuring the classic flavors of baked potato, this creamy, cheesy soup is made with homestyle cuts of potatoes with bacon, chives, and seasoning, all simmered in a creamy Monterey Jack cheese sauce and topped with Asiago cheese.
- Autumn Squash Soup: A rich blend of butternut squash and pumpkin is simmered in vegetable broth with apple juice, honey, cinnamon, and a hint of curry, finished with a drizzle of sweet cream and a sprinkle of roasted, salted pumpkin seeds.
Alongside its new fall lineup, Panera also offers a selection of comforting soups that are perfect for warming up during the cooler months. Fan favorites such as Broccoli Cheddar, Creamy Tomato, Homestyle Chicken Noodle, Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice, and Bistro French Onion provide a variety of flavor profiles that can be enjoyed either on their own or with a choice of salad or sandwich.
