Panera’s menu covers a wide calorie range — from 180 calories for a bowl of Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup to 670 calories for a whole Caesar Salad with Chicken or a half Toasted Italiano, and a sourdough bread bowl alone is 650 — so soups, bread bowls and dressings are worth adding up. This Panera Bread nutrition calculator covers soups, salads, sandwiches and bakery items so you can see where your order actually lands.
