Lipton Soup Spinach Dip with Hawaiian Bread
This spinach dip is made with a Lipton vegetable soup mix packet, sour cream, mayonnaise, spinach, and Hawaiian sweet bread. It’s a party-perfect spinach dip recipe that’s easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser!
Recipe Inspiration
Over the years of family get-togethers, my husband’s Aunt Tina has made her famous spinach dip, a recipe that’s become a family favorite. While she typically uses Lipton vegetable soup mix, you can easily make it with Knorr vegetable soup mix for a classic Knorr spinach dip variation. She takes a round loaf of Hawaiian bread, hollows out the center to create a bread bowl, and fills it with the creamy dip. It’s a party-perfect spinach dip recipe that I look forward to every holiday season. Now that she’s shared the recipe with me, I make it year-round, and it’s always a hit!
How to Make Spinach Dip with Lipton Vegetable Soup Mix
To make this delicious spinach dip, drain the defrosted spinach well using a fine mesh strainer or paper towels to remove any excess water. Lipton Vegetable Soup Mix is preferred over Lipton Onion Soup Mix for this recipe because its blend of vegetable flavors perfectly complements the spinach and creamy base. If you can’t find Lipton soup mix, the Knorr Vegetable Recipe packet is a great alternative and equally delicious!
In a large bowl, mix the spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise, and Lipton soup packet until well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour (or overnight for the best flavor).

When ready to serve, hollow out a Hawaiian bread loaf or a round loaf of bread, cut the removed center into bite-sized pieces, and serve the dip in the bread bowl with the bread chunks or Hawaiian rolls on the side.
For the best results, make sure to thoroughly drain any excess water from the frozen spinach; otherwise, your dip may turn out watery. If you’re looking for a healthier twist on this classic recipe, try substituting nonfat plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream and using light mayonnaise to lower the fat content while keeping the dip delicious and creamy.
What to Serve with Hawaiian Bread Spinach Dip
- Bread: Hawaiian bread chunks, sourdough bread, or a round loaf hollowed out as a bread bowl are classic choices. The soft and fluffy texture complements the creamy dip perfectly
- Fresh Vegetables: Carrot sticks, celery, red bell peppers, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes add a healthy crunch
- Tortilla Chips: For a salty, crispy option, tortilla chips are always a hit
- Crackers: Serve with buttery crackers, pita chips, or potato chips for a sturdy dipping option
- Breadsticks or Pretzels: Soft breadsticks or crunchy pretzels make for a flavorful pairing.
- Cheese Cubes: Add an extra layer of indulgence by including cheese cubes on the side for a party platter
- Apple Slices: For a slightly sweet and tangy twist, apple slices can provide a unique contrast to the savory dip
Mix and match to suit your guests’ preferences, and don’t forget to keep your dip chilled until serving!
How to Store and Serve Cold Spinach Dip
Whether you use the Lipton recipe or try a classic Knorr spinach dip variation, storing leftovers in an airtight container ensures it stays fresh and flavorful. To store cold spinach dip, transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for 2-3 days.
After sitting in the refrigerator for a while, you may notice some excess water or liquid forming on the surface. This is normal, especially with ingredients like spinach and sour cream. Simply give the dip a good stir before serving to reincorporate the liquid and restore its creamy texture.
For best results when serving, keep the dip chilled by placing it in a bowl over ice if it will be sitting out for an extended period. This ensures it stays fresh and safe to enjoy!
