Panera at Home soup accompanies a Copycat Panera Salad with Grapes, Apples and Chicken for a ‘better for you meal’ made in the comfort of your own home. 
Disclosure: I received free samples of Panera at Home Soups. I was not financially compensated for my time. Opinions are my own.
This past weekend was beautiful , and I had the opportunity to spend some time with a dear friend of mine, Pam, visiting from Delaware. Pam and I were roommates years decades ago at the University of Delaware. Both RDs with different career paths, it’s fun to catch up! While we both love to cook, our good intentions of making a Saturday night meal of Chicken Agrodolce with Creamy Polenta, never came to be. But that’s ok. Sometimes, you have to rethink homemade.
Enter Panera at Home. It just so happened that the good folks at Panera helped me stock my refrigerator for the weekend with an assortment of Panera Bread at Home soups. These easy to heat containers of savory soup gave me the flexibility of enjoying picture perfect weather outside, riding bicycles and strolling the beach, without the need to rush back to make supper. In my opinion, there’s nothing better than being able to kick back in the comfort of my own kitchen and quickly assemble a delicious meal that’s ‘better for you’. I heated Panera at Home’s Turkey Sausage, Kale and Quinoa Soup (garnished it with a sage leaf) and put together my version of Panera’s Ancient Grain and Arugula Salad with Chicken.
I ‘m a long time Panera Bread customer because I apprecipate their beliefs of Food as it Should Be (and they have great hazelnut coffee too)!
