Other Value Duet pairings include a tuna sandwich with creamy tomato soup; Caesar salad and homestyle chicken noodle soup; and Greek salad with creamy tomato soup.
Panera Bread chief brand and concept officer Eduardo Luz said: “At Panera, we strive to serve delicious, high-quality food with an emphasis on value for our guests and the new Value Duets allow us to further deliver on that goal.
“Besides delivering great value for money, Panera’s Value Duets also enable guests to explore our menu by choosing different pairings – therefore the name ‘Duets’ – each time they visit our bakery-cafes.
“Our guests can expect even more of their Panera favourites to join the Value Duets lineup later this year.”
Panera claims that its Value Duets do not contain any artificial preservatives, sweeteners, flavours or colours.
