Heat oil in large saucepan and saute garlic, onion, and green onions until soft.
Stir in rice; add 3 1/2 cups water and the turmeric.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Simmer for 15 minutes, then add spinach, cooking 5-7 minutes more, until rice is tender.
Lower heat on soup.
Stir yogurt briskly, then add to soup.
Stir only to blend, and heat just until soup is heated through.
