I got to Panera all the time. I love their chicken noodle soup. No other place around here has chicken noodle soup as good as Panera's.

I saw an article online rating Panera's soups from best to worst once and it said the worst was their chicken noodle soup! It said it had a layer of grease on top and hardly any chicken or noodles. I wondered what Panera the author went to because I've never had grease on top and every bowl I've ever had was chockful of chicken, noodles and carrots, even when I got it 30 minutes before closing time.
