Time 1h10m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (50 g) packet onion soup mix (spring onion continental)
2 cups sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (200 g) can crabmeat, drained
4 sliced spring onions
1 (400 g) packet frozen spinach, thawed & drained
1 large loaf of round unsliced crusty bread

Steps:

  • Mix powdered soup mix with sour cream and mayonnaise and refrigerate until soup mix softens (this can be done overnight if you like).
  • Stir in well the rest of the ingredients.
  • Take a large round unsliced bread loaf and cut a big circle from the top. Hollow the cavity out by pressing down on the bread. Make little cuts around the edges of the loaf near the rim of the circle.
  • Fill the loaf with the dip. The cuts allow people to tear bread off easily to dip. I usually chop up the bread 'lid' as well as it always gets dipped in and eaten.
