Greggs Soup Menu 2026: Flavours, Prices and Calories
Greggs soup is one of the most underrated items on the menu. Hot, hearty and cheap, it is the perfect winter lunch, and it is one of the lightest hot options available. Here is what you need to know for 2026.
Soup prices 2026
- Vegetable soup with roll: £2.45 (London £2.80, airport £3.15), 280 kcal
Greggs keeps the soup range simple, usually offering one or two flavours at a time. Vegetable soup is the regular, with seasonal specials appearing through winter. A bread roll is included in the price, which makes it a complete light lunch.
What flavours are available?
Vegetable soup is the staple, available most of the year. In autumn and winter, Greggs often adds seasonal options like tomato soup or leek and potato. Flavours rotate, so the exact choice depends on when you visit. The soups are made to classic recipes, thick and warming rather than fancy.
Calories
At 280 kcal including the roll, soup is one of the lowest calorie hot lunches at Greggs. For comparison, a steak bake is 452 kcal and even a sandwich starts around 350 kcal. If you are watching your intake but want something hot, soup is the smartest choice on the menu.
How it compares
High street soup from the big chains typically costs £3.50 to £4.50, often without bread included. At £2.45 with a roll, Greggs soup is excellent value. Supermarket fresh soup is cheaper per pot, but you have to heat it yourself, which rather misses the point of a hot lunch on the go.
Is it any good?
Honestly, yes. It is proper thick soup, not the watery stuff some places serve. The vegetable soup has real body to it, and the included roll is fresh. It is not going to win culinary awards, but for £2.45 on a cold day, it is exactly what you want.
Practical tip
Soup is a winter hero but availability drops off in summer when demand falls. If you love it, make the most of it between October and March. It also sells steadily rather than in a lunchtime rush, so you can usually get it at any time of day during the colder months.
Why soup is underrated at Greggs
Nobody walks into Greggs thinking about soup, and that is exactly why it is underrated. While everyone queues for sausage rolls, the soup sits there quietly being one of the healthiest and cheapest hot lunches available. At £2.45 with a roll included, it is cheaper than almost everything else hot on the menu.
Soup vs porridge
Greggs has two healthy hot options and they serve different moments. Porridge (£1.75, 320 kcal) is the breakfast choice, sweet and creamy. Soup (£2.45, 280 kcal) is the lunch choice, savoury and warming. Both are the lightest options in their dayparts. If you are doing a full healthy day at Greggs, and stranger things have happened, porridge then soup is the way.
The roll question
The included bread roll is part of what makes the soup good value, but it does add calories. The 280 kcal figure includes the roll, so you know where you stand. If you are really counting, skip the roll and the soup alone is lighter still, though noticeably less satisfying.
Seasonal specials
Winter is soup season at Greggs. This is when you will see the most variety, with tomato, leek and potato, and other classics rotating through. Summer sees the range shrink right back, sometimes to just the vegetable soup or nothing at all. The lesson is simple, eat soup while you can.
Who should try it?
Anyone who thinks Greggs is only about pastry. The soup proves the menu has more range than its reputation suggests. It is also the best option for anyone who wants hot food without the heaviness of a bake.
