Believe it or not, Panera Bread's Broccoli Cheddar soup is not vegetarian! Why is this since the soup should not have anything obviously meaty in there? That is because its stock is made with "Chicken meat including chicken juices...chicken fat " (source Panera Bread website).

Creating this soup with a vegetable stock will give vegetarians more variety to choose from, especially as the Black Bean soup will soon be leaving the menu, leaving only Tomato and Autumn Squash. 

Let's take a delicious soup and make it available for both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike!
