Instructions

Bring the stock to the boil, add the rinsed rice and cook for 15 minutes over medium heat.
In a bowl, whisk the yoghurt with the egg and flour until smooth.
Gradually pour a ladle of hot stock into the yoghurt while whisking, to temper it.
Pour this mixture back into the pan, stirring constantly over low heat so it doesn't curdle.
Let it thicken for 5 minutes without boiling, then adjust the seasoning with salt.
Melt the butter with the mint and paprika, then pour it over the soup just before serving.
