Ingredients

  • 1 packet Lipton or Knorr's Vegetable recipe mix
  • 16 ounces sour cream I use lowfat)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 10 ounces baby spinach, chopped or frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 8 ounces water chestnuts, drained and chopped (1 can)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine vegetable recipe mix with sour cream and mayonnaise. Let the mixture refrigerate for 2 hours up to overnight to allow the soup mix to soften and the flavors to blend.
  2. Stir in the spinach, chopped water chestnuts, and onions (optional) a few minutes before serving.
  3. If you plan to serve this in a sourdough or other bread round loaf, carve a large round hole into the top of the loaf, letting your knife sink about 3/4 way into the loaf with every stroke. Pull to remove the round piece of bread to form a hollow, bowl-like center in the loaf.
  4. Use your knife to cut out any chunks of excess bread inside the loaf, leaving enough behind to form a solid bowl shape that will hold a wet dip.
  5. Cut the center round piece that you removed and the excess bread bits into bite-size chunks.
  6. Pour dip into the center of the bread bowl surrounded by the bread chunks and any other dipping items you wish to serve (vegetable crudites, chips, crackers).
