  5. Do not overcook.
  6. Cut the spinach into chiffonade, add to pan and cook for another five minutes.
  7. To serve hot: Beat yogurt and garlic into the soup, and reheat gently so the yogurt does not curdle.

  9. NOTE: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Madras curry powder can be substituted for the turmeric, depending on how fragrant you want your soup to be.
