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.

Steps:

- Add crab meat, chopped green onion and chopped water chestnuts.
- Cook frozen spinach with salt to taste and drain well.

- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your dip a more complex flavor. A good combination is cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
- Add some spices and herbs to taste. This will help to brighten up the flavors of the dip. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- Serve the dip warm with your favorite dippers. Some good options include crackers, chips, vegetables, and bread.
