Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Dip is such a classic appetizer. It can be served hot or cold, it great for pot lucks, game day or a fancy party. 

It can be served with crudites, crostinis or chips and even used as a spread on sandwiches. The problem is that it can also be very bland. I have a secret weapon for my Creamy Spinach and Artichoke dip: leek soup mix. Yep. Soup Mix! Leek soup mix has herbs and spices already mixed in along with a subtle onion flavor. Allow it to marry with the creamy ingredients and re-hydrate for exceptional flavor. Everyone will be asking your recipe.
