Spinach dip in the bread bowl

If you're yearning for instant popularity, the spinach dip in a breadbowl recipe will do it. You really don't even need the breadbowl to get a hearty thumbs-up from the Superbowl Sunday crowd. This recipe originated on the back of a box of Knorr's Vegetable Soup Mix, I believe... but many versions have surfaced, some even lowfat and lowish-salt. Use your best tastebud judgment!

Ingredients:

2 packages of chopped frozen spinach

One large scoop of mayonnaise (consult with your Inner Mayo Meter to determine how much is right for you)

Half a can of water chestnuts, diced (not too fine, we want crunch)

About 3 Tablespoons of finely chopped onion

1/2 packet of Vegetable Soup Mix powder (Knorr's or Lipton work fine)

Pepper to taste

Large loaf of fresh bakery bread, hollowed out into a bowl shape

Instructions:

As I mentioned before, this is my modified version of the original Knorr's recipe. They use 1 box of spinach and I think a cup of mayo, I prefer mine lighter on the 'naise and heavier on the Popeye greenstuff.

If you're watching salt, you can mix up all ingredients except the magical soup powder, then add a little at a time and taste-test as you go.

Fill the hollowed-out bread bowl with this heap of deliciousness and then plunge into spinachy-goodness.
