I never get much broccoli in the cheddar broccoli soup...
I love the soup, just always a little disappointing, but always hopeful that one day I will pull off that plastic lid and I will have broccoli 🥦 in my cheddar broccoli soup, not just little broken pieces.

I’ve tried Panera several times over the past year, and I’ve never been impressed. The bread on my sandwiches has consistently been so hard that it hurts my teeth to chew, and the fillings are always bland with little to no flavor. Today’s chili was especially disappointing. It had a hot-dog like texture with just a few whole beans and almost no seasoning. I paid $7 for an 8oz cup of bland chili and a small bag of chips, which felt overpriced for the quality. Overall, not happy with the taste or the value. I wouldn’t recommend Panera and don’t plan to return.

We ordered the broccoli and cheese soup and macaroni, but in bread bowls. Carb forward? Absolutely. Worth it?? I regret nothing!
