Spinach Dip

All I want for Christmas is some gluten and dairy. Ha! Well, okay, I can do some substitutes but I'm strategizing a way to replace the Knorr Vegetable Soup, Dip and Recipe Mix, which contains Hydrolized protein (corn, soy, wheat), MSG, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavors, spcie and sulfur dioxide.  Here's my idea:

To replace the Knorr Vegetable Dip:

Just Veggies: dehydrated carrots, corn, peas, bell peppers and tomatoes
Celery chopped fine
celery seed
dried onion flakes
garlic powder
to thicken: potato starch
RealSalt
Brewer's yeast?
sugar
turmeric
-------------------
FOR RECIPE:

10 oz. frozen spinach, drained, chopped fine (use Rachel's frozen spinach trick)
1 container sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
3 green onions
-------------------
Pumpernickel bread bowl and extra bread, crackers and cucumber rounds for dipping.
