Notes

Doubling the recipe works seamlessly in a larger bowl without modifying prep or chill times.
If using low-sodium soup mix, taste the dip after the 2-hour chill time and stir in up to 1/4 teaspoon of fine salt if needed.
Serve chilled with sturdy potato chips, pretzel twists, or sliced fresh vegetables.
