Ingredients

bowls of ingredients for Panera 10 vegetable soup.

The ingredient list is a long one, but most of the ingredients are easy-to-find pantry staples. Let's talk about the key ingredients.

  • Vegetables: We used yellow onion, carrots, celery, red and yellow bell pepper, poblano pepper, spinach, garlic, and frozen green peas.
  • Canned Vegetables: We used fire roasted tomatoes and fire roasted yellow corn.
  • Spices: We used onion and garlic powder, aleppo chili, cumin, sea salt, white pepper, cumin, rosemary, basil, and bay leaves (fresh or dried).
  • Acids: We used rice vinegar, freshly squeezed lime juice, and freshly sliced lemon wheels.
  • Grains & Seeds: We used sprouted brown rice and the chia seeds (These ingredients help thicken the soup, so it's less brothy.)

See recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Variations

  • Need this keto friendly?  Add Parmesan cheese and avocado slices to increase the fat.
  • Can't find sprouted short grain brown rice?  Swap it out with barley.
  • Can't find dried aleppo chili powder?  Swap it out with paprika and a bit of cayenne pepper.
  • Can't find dried lemon peel?  Swap it out with 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and add it at the end.
  • Can't find fire roasted tomatoes or corn?  Swap it out with regular tomatoes and corn, but realize it will lose some flavor.

How to Make Panera 10 Vegetable Soup

sautéing the veggies and adding the tomato paste.
  1. Heat up the oil in a large Dutch oven, then sauté the onion, celery, carrot, bell peppers, and poblano until softened (about 10 minutes). Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, stirring constantly. (image 1)
  2. Bloom all the spices except the bay leaves for 30 seconds, stirring constantly so they don't burn. Add the tomato paste and stir for 5 minutes so it darkens and starts to caramelize. (image 2)
deglazing and adding the other ingredients to the soup.
  1. Deglaze the pot by pouring in ½ cup of vegetable stock and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden turner.
  2. Add the rest of the stock and bay leaves and stir well.  Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sprouted brown rice, chia seeds, garbanzo beans, and fire roasted corn.  Add the peas and fire roasted tomatoes.
adding the lime juice and serving the soup.
  1. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the lid, stir, and simmer for 45 minutes, more stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust spices, then add the fresh spinach and let it wilt for a minute.  Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice. (image 5)
  2. Serve the soup hot with a lemon wheel. (image 6)

Recipe FAQs

Did Panera discontinue 10 vegetable soup?

Ten vegetable soup was introduced in January 2019 at all restaurants across the United States. It was taken off the menu at our local Panera Bread sometime in 2020.

Is the 10 vegetable soup from Panera healthy?

Yes, it's very healthy and had the lowest calorie count out all Panera Bread's soups. Panera's one cup serving size contains 60 calories and ours has 166, but theirs is more brothy and less filling than our copycat recipe.

Is Panera 10 vegetable soup vegan?

Yes, the main reason they put the 10 vegetable soup on the menu in January 2019 was to have a vegan option for their customers. It is plant-based and Mediterranean diet approved.

Can you freeze 10 Panera 10 vegetable soup?

Yes, you absolutely can. This recipe makes 15 cups which is a lot, so if you can't eat it all freeze any leftovers for up to 3 months.

Serve

Panera serves this entree with a choice of sourdough bread bowl for an upcharge, a bag of kettle chips, a piece of baguette, or an apple.

Some serving suggestions to use at home are a slice of our hearty multigrain bread, or our easy garlic toast. A light refreshing side salad like our copycat Chick-fil-A side salad or our copycat Chick-fil-A fruit cup recipe would also round out the meal.

Complete the meal by serving one of these 8 Panera copycat dessert recipes after you enjoy your soup.

Instructions

  • Heat up the oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium high heat until it shimmers, then add the first six vegetables.  Sauté the vegetables until they have softened, about 10 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally with a wooden spoon.  Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, roughly 30 seconds.
  • Add all the dried spices except the bay leaves to the pot and stir constantly for 30 seconds to release their flavors and aromas.  Add the tomato paste and cook for 4 to 5 minutes while stirring, so it darkens and starts to caramelize.
  • Pour ½ cup of vegetable stock into the pot by scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden turner to scrape off any brown bits.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients except the spinach and lime juice.  Stir until well combined.
  • Cover and bring to a boil, roughly 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 30 minutes.  Uncover the soup and give it a stir.  Let it simmer for another 45 minutes, then taste the soup and adjust any spices. 
  • Add the spinach and let it wilt for a minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat, pour in the freshly squeezed lime juice, and stir.  Garnish each serving with a lemon wheel, and serve this delicious copycat recipe hot.

Notes

  • Need to substitute aleppo chili flakes?  Don't use Hungarian paprika, use regular paprika with a bit of cayenne.
  • Want to save time? Prep the fresh vegetables, measure the dried spices, and juice the limes ahead of time.
  • Want your soup brothy?  Add more broth and adjust spices.
  • Want a bread suggestion?  Serve Panera's Tomato and Basil.
  • Have leftovers?  Freeze for up to 3 months.

    All the white pepper made this unbeatable at the end. Waste of time, money, energy and dishes!

      Amy, We are so sorry to hear that this recipe didn't work out for you. It is one of our more popular soup recipes and you are the first to mention that there is too much white pepper in it. Feel free to either reduce the amount of white pepper (originally 1 1/2 teaspoons for 15 cups of soup) or replace it with black pepper. I hope this helps.

    I've made this recipe TONS of times. Loved it enough that I figured I should leave a review! It's easy to make, and I often make a double batch and freeze it. Most of the time, I eat it with a couple rolls of bread dipped in it, but if I don't have bread on hand, I'll put macaroni in it to make it extra filling. Absolutely delicious, well done.
