Spinach and yogurt soup

In the native Turkish: "ıspanakli yoğurt çorbası."
Recipe from "The Sultan's kitchen: A Turkish cookbook", by Ozcan Ozan.

Delicious and comforting. The author describes it as "perfect for serving on a summer day"; Thomas feels like a perfect soup for a cold day, because of its creamy consistency.

On top of the spinach flavor, there is a distinct sourness from the yogurt and lemon juice as well as the paprika flavor (which, in my case of using hot paprika, gave a a solid kick).

Comparing the look of my soup to a photo in the cookbook of one of the other "yogurt soups", it's clear that mine was a little short on the yogurt and not of a smooth enough consistency. I think I may have raised the heat to high after adding the yogurt mixture which may have led to curdling (of the yogurt, or maybe of the egg yolk).
