Panera Adds New Southwest Chicken Tortilla Soup, Brings Back Strawberry Poppyseed Salad

Strawberry Poppyseed Salad is back at Panera Bread along with the new Southwest Chicken Tortilla Soup.

The Southwest Chicken Tortilla Soup consists of a zesty roasted tomato and chili broth with slow-simmered chicken, corn, black beans, poblano peppers, masa, hominy, lime, and cilantro, and garnished with masa crisps.

Panera’s new soup is similar to the Southwest Chicken Tortilla Bowl that was introduced back in 2017, which consisted of smoked pulled chicken, quinoa tomato sofrito blend, brown rice, spinach, Napa cabbage blend, pickled red onions, roasted red peppers, fresh lime, adobo corn, and chile lime rojo sauce, topped with cilantro and masa crisps in hen broth.

The Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad features romaine lettuce, mandarin oranges, blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple tossed in poppyseed dressing and topped with toasted pecan pieces. And you can also get it with chicken.

The Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad with Chicken features all the same ingredients as the original, but with chicken raised without antibiotics.

Panera’s new Southwest Chicken Tortilla Soup carries a suggested price of $5.79. The Strawberry Poppy Seed Salad, which is available in whole and half, goes for $10.19 and $7.19, respectively. Prices may vary.

Both the salad and the soup are available for a limited time.

Panera Bread also just updated their popular Modern Greek Salad with Quinoa with a new recipe, and it sounds delicious. The new Modern Greek Salad with Quinoa features quinoa sofrito, arugula, kale, radicchio, and romaine blend, kalamata olives, and cucumbers, all tossed in Greek dressing and topped with feta cheese and toasted almonds.

The salad carries a suggested price of $9.49, but you can also get half for $6.89 (may vary).

You can find the new Modern Greek Salad with Quinoa at participating Panera Bread locations as part of the chain’s permanent salad menu.
