Spinach Dip

1 package Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 cup Helman's mayonnaise
1 can water chestnuts, finely chopped
1 package [frozen] spinach
12 ounces sour cream
1 loaf Vienna bread, unsliced
[fresh vegetable sticks (optional)]

Cook spinach and squeeze out water. Mix together soup mix, mayonnaise, water chestnuts, and sour cream. Cut top off bread and pull bread from inside [in bite-sized pieces, leaving a bread crust shell]. Stuff with spinach mixture. [Serve with bread pieces and/or fresh vegetable sticks.]

[Quantity not given, but probably makes about 3 cups of dip.]
