the best spinach dip recipe

Uses more ingredients, but the end result is a super flavorful spinach dip. My favorite! Enjoy if you make it.

¼ cup olive oil

2 tbsp. unsalted butter

¾ cup diced onion

1 ½ tbsp. minced garlic

½ cup all purpose flour

1 ½ cups chicken stock

1 ½ cups heavy cream

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp. crumbed bouillon cubes

1 ½ tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. sugar

¾ cup sour cream

12 oz. frozen spinach (defrosted, drained and coarsely chopped)

1 cup finely shredded Monterey Jack cheese

¾ tsp. Tabasco sauce

Corn tortilla chips







Warm olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When butter has melted, add onion, stirring often for about 4 minutes or until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes longer, stirring often. Remove from heat before the onion and garlic brown.



Sprinkle in flour; continue cooking and stirring about 15 minutes, until it turns golden brown. Then, whisking continuously, slowly pour in chicken stock and mix well. When it begins to simmer, stir in cream. Return to a simmer.



Remove from heat, add Parmesan, bouillon cubes, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir until blended.



Add sour cream, spinach, Jack and Tabasco sauce. Stir until well blended and cheese has melted.



Transfer to a glass bowl. Serve immediately with chips.
