Another variation

2 packages cream cheese, softened
1-pint sour cream
1 package Knorr’s leek soup mix
½ cup water chestnuts, drained & chopped
1 scallion, sliced very thin
1 -1½ cups frozen spinach, thawed


Mix softened cream cheese and sour cream with a fork until well blended. Stir in soup mix. Wrap the thawed spinach in a towel to squeeze out the excess moisture.

Add spinach, water chestnuts and scallion slices and mix well. Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Once the dip is made....

With a serrated knife, hollow out the sourdough or french bread round, making an edible serving bowl. Tear the rest into bite size pieces for dipping. Scoop dip into bread round and enjoy!
