Spinach Bread Dip

1 cup mayonnaise
2 cups sour cream
1 envelope vegetable soup mix
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 1/2 packages of frozen spinach, drained and chopped
3 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
2 boules of pumpernickel or other artisanal bread

Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and soup mix. Stir in water chestnuts, onions and red pepper. Squeeze water out of spinach, and stir into mixture.

Cut the top off one boule, and slice down around the edge (almost to the bottom) scoop out the middle to form a big bowl. Place the dip in the bowl and cut the remaining bread into thin slices for dipping.
