Panera’s Soba Noodle Broth Bowl with Chicken

I really like Panera mainly because fresh bread is amazing, but their paninis and soups are pretty great as well. They recently came out with these broth bowls, and let me tell you I am in love with them. I knew immediately I had to recreate something similar at home.

You guys, it was the best idea that I ever had.

These broth bowls are AMAZING!!

I have made the same basic thing about 10 or 15 times in the last couple weeks (ok maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but still I made them a lot).

Also can we just take another minute to talk about the marinade on this chicken? I know I recently wrote a whole post about its wonder, but I just feel like it needs to be said again. It’s amazing!

Ok back to broth bowls here.

I really think there is nothing better for winter than a nice steamy bowl of soup, and I like that this recipe includes so many vegetables. It is hearty filling, and healthy. What more could you ask for?

The recipe looks way more complicated than it is, so don’t let it scare you. Looking at the ingredient list on Panera’s site had my head spinning so I did “dumb” it down a bit to make it way easier and more accessible for the home cook.

I would love it if you guys could try this recipe and let me know how you think it compares to the original. Please, please, please. It would mean the world to me!

Panera's Soba Noodle Broth Bowl Recipe with chicken

For those things that are hard to find in the grocery store: Yellow Miso, Sesame Oil, & Soba Noodles.

Panera’s Soba Noodle Broth Bowl with Chicken – Copy Cat Recipe

  • 2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ⅓ cup Lemon Pepper & Herb Marinade ((Link Below))
  • 2 tsp sesame oil*
  • ½ a small yellow onion
  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms (shitake, or cremini work nicely)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp sriracha plus more to taste
  • 1 medium carrot (peeled and julienned)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup yellow miso
  • 8 oz soba noodles
  • ¼ cup red cabbage (sliced thin)
  • ½ cup Napa cabbage (chopped)
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh baby spinach
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp chopped cilantro (for garnish)
  1. In a sealable container combine the chicken and marinade and toss to coat. Set aside to marinade for about 30 minutes (or overnight).
  2. Place the chicken on a preheated grill or sauté pan and cook, basting with leftover marinade for 8-10 minutes a side. When cooked through the chicken will be firm, opaque and when poked with a fork the juices will run clear.
  3. Remove from heat and set aside before cutting. Meanwhile heat oil over medium heat and sauté the onions and mushrooms, until they have begun to brown and caramelize, about 6 minutes.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar and sriracha until well combined.
  5. Add the carrots and cook for another minute before stirring in the broth, water and miso. Cook gently stirring until the miso has fully dissolved.
  6. Add in the cabbage and soba noodles and cook until the noodles are just tender, about 5 minutes.
  7. Stir in the spinach and ladle into individual bowls.
  8. Slice the chicken and place on top garnished with sesame seeds and cilantro to serve.

  1. How long do you think this will keep in the fridge? I want to take them for lunches. What do you think is the best way so they don’t get all soggy?

    • I would say keep everything but the noodles together. The noodles can get soggy very quickly, but everything else should be fine.Just combine them and reheat when you are ready to eat. Let me know how it turns out for you!

    • I agree. keep the noodles separate maybe a dash of sesame oil to keep them from becoming a block. and when you are ready to eat. add veggies and noodles to boiling broth. I would nuke it for 2 minutes then add everything like a cup O noodles and cover for 5 minutes then everything should be GREAT! this is just my opinion. I will try this soup and the different ways to reheat for lunches.

  2. Panera can be a little stingy with the amount of broth they put in their noodle bowls so cannot wait to put in as much as I want!!! I’d also like to make this recipe with shrimp to make it more authentic.

    • Noooooo!!! … looks like Soba Noodle Broth Bowls have been replaced with Thai Garden Chicken Wonton broth bowls!!

    • I do NOT like the wontons they put into the broth bowls! 😝
      Not sure why they would take the edamame and the chicken soba broth bowls off the menu.

    • NOOOOO! I agree BAD CALL!! DANG IT!! Everytime you find something that ya really love the yank it from the menu!

    • So sad about the soba noodle bowls. I email them a lot asking them to bring them back 😢

    • I know a lot of people relaly liked them, and they didn’t have them around very long. But now you cna make your own!!
