I am not afraid to admit that I am a Panera Bread addict. I think that I could probably eat Panera all day, every day, for the rest of my life and be happy. After all, they have everything a person could want: delicious soups, crisp salads, soft bagels, the best sandwiches EVER… If/when the (presumably zombie) apocalypse hits, you’ll find me at Panera.
The only drawback to craving Panera Bread all the time is the fact that I’m not made of money, nor do I have a money tree growing in my backyard. I’m assuming you’re in the same boat. Well, luckily for us, people who are more skilled than I am at creating and duplicating recipes have come up with Panera copycat recipes. That means that we all can get our hands on easy soup recipes that taste just like Panera Bread’s famous soups.
Okay, okay. So you probably already know that Panera copycat recipes exist and you’ve probably already considered whipping a few up. Then, just allow me to narrow down your choices. The easy soup recipes below are pretty much the best of the best copycat recipes you’ll come across. Consider it your new to-do list. You can thank me later.
One day, I hope to make at least one of these easy soup recipes so well that I’ll begin to prefer it to Panera’s soups. That would make me so proud of myself. Until that time comes, I’ll just be making these easy soup recipes for fun on days that I can’t make it to Panera Bread for my soup and baguette fix. 😉

I as well am an avid soup fan and Panera always hits the spot, especially now that winter is really kicking in. A hot cup of broccoli cheddar soup never fails to pick me up! I was so excited to see the simple copycat recipe posted in your blog. I may not be an expert chef, but the recipe is incredibly easy to follow. I cannot wait for the next bitterly cold day so I can stay inside and try my hand at these soups!
I recently had Panera’s soup in a bread bowl and wondered if there was an inexpensive way to enjoy this same meal at home. Thanks to your recipe links, there now is!
I have to say, I never knew that copycat recipes of the Panera soups existed. I assumed their were identical recipes but didn’t think they would even compare to what it tastes like at Panera Bread. I can definitely relate..I can eat Panera Bread pretty much any day of the week for any meal! Awesome blog post, and I think I may just have to pick a few of your choices out and see how they turn out!
Its wonderful as your other articles :D, appreciate it for posting.
I used to eat at Panera every Friday while I was still working and living in Dallas. Love their Clam Chowder in a sour dough bread bowl.
