Spinach Dip

Here's another I've been known to make for a "party of one" or to share with a real party. This can be found on the back of a Knorr Vegetable Soup package, but in case you lose it, here you go:

1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed (do not use fresh)
1 1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. mayonnaise
1 (4 oz.) pkg. Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, finely chopped (I despise water chestnuts so I leave them out)
3 green onions, finely chopped (I use kitchen shears and snip these at quarter inch intervals)
Round loaf of pumpernickel or sweet Hawaiian bread (I use Hawaiian bread, never had it with pumpernickel)

NOTE: Spinach takes FOREVER to thaw so set it out in advance or put in the microwave but not for long.

Squeeze spinach until dry.
In medium bowl, stir together spinach, sour cream, mayo and soup mix.
Add finely chopped water chestnuts and green onions.
Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Cut out the middle of the Hawaiian loaf to leave a shell to contain dip.
Use bread removed from shell and cut into bite size pieces.
Fill loaf with dip and place on platter and surround with bread pieces
