Subway soup has one of those quiet endings that never came with an announcement. Through the 2010s a cup of broccoli cheddar next to a 6-inch was a standard winter order. By 2026 the vast majority of US franchises have removed soup entirely, and the ones that kept it usually run it seasonally.
Why it went
Soup needed its own warmer, its own stock, its own waste tracking and its own cleaning routine, and it sold in a narrow window — cold months, lunch only. When franchisees trimmed menus around the shift to freshly sliced meats and the Sidekicks snack range, soup was among the first things cut. It sits with the other quiet removals listed in what changed on the 2026 menu.
The flavours people are searching for
| Soup | Approx. calories (cup) | Approx. sodium |
|---|---|---|
| Broccoli cheddar | ~230–260 | ~1,000–1,200 mg |
| Chicken noodle | ~90–120 | ~800–1,000 mg |
| Creamy chicken and dumpling | ~200–240 | ~1,100 mg |
| Loaded baked potato with bacon | ~240–280 | ~1,000 mg |
| Tomato / minestrone (regional) | ~90–150 | ~900 mg |
Worth noting for anyone who remembers soup as the "light" choice: the sodium in a single cup was often close to a whole 6-inch sub. Our nutrition guide puts those numbers in context.
Where you can still find it
- A small number of long-standing standalone stores in cold-winter states.
- Campus, hospital and airport locations with expanded menus.
- Canadian and some international markets, where soup lasted longer than in the US.
Check your own branch's menu in the app rather than trusting a menu board photo — start from Subway near me.
What to order instead
For something warm, a toasted melt does the job — the melt lineup is the closest thing to comfort food on the current board. For a lighter, lower-carb warm-ish option, a No Bready Bowl with toasted meatballs and marinara is the nearest substitute for broccoli cheddar's role in a lunch. Sides overall are covered in chips and sides.
Common questions
Did Subway officially discontinue soup?
There was no single national announcement. Soup was removed franchise by franchise, which is why answers differ store to store.
Will it come back?
Occasional seasonal tests happen. Nothing points to a national return in 2026.
Availability and nutrition vary by franchise and change without notice. Confirm in the Subway app before ordering.
