Defrost the frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and dry vegetable soup mix. Stir until well blended.
Fold in the drained spinach, diced water chestnuts, and sliced green onions. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
While the dip is chilling, prepare the pumpernickel bread by cutting off the top of the loaf in a circular shape to create a 'lid'. Scoop out the center of the bread to form a hollow bowl, leaving about 2 cm of bread on all sides.
Cut the removed bread center and the 'lid' into bite-sized cubes for dipping.
Once the dip is thoroughly chilled, stir it one final time and spoon it into the prepared pumpernickel bread bowl.
Serve the spinach dip in the bread bowl with the bread cubes arranged around it for dipping. Enjoy!
