Panera Bread unveils America’s favorite soup for National Soup Month (2024)

With January being National Soup Month, Panera Bread is declaring the nation’s favorite soup, through the results of a recently conducted survey.

According to the bakery-café chain, Broccoli Cheddar is America’s favorite soup, with 49 states choosing it as their top pick. The outlier was Minnesota, which chose Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice as its top pick.

The top three favorite soups nationwide are:

  1. Broccoli Cheddar Soup with 54.6M servings
  2. Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup with 23M servings
  3. Creamy Tomato Soup with 22.3M servings

Panera also looked to settle the debate of whether Americans sip their soup like a beverage, or use a spoon to eat it. Over 74 percent use a spoon to eat soup, while nearly 26 percent sip it like a beverage.

Those made hungry by these findings can currently head to the Panera app to get $1 off soup, with the purchase of an entrée, using code SOUP at checkout.
