Step 1: In a large saucepan or pot over medium heat add the onions and next 3 ingredients (-garlic) along with 2 teaspoons salt and the sugar and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes or until onions are softened.
Step 2: Increase heat to high and add the carrots, water, 3/4 cup carrot juice, thyme and baking soda and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered for 20-25 minutes or until carrots are tender.
Step 3: Discard thyme. Using an immersion blender or working in batches using a regular blender, puree soup until smooth. Stir in vinegar and 3/4 cup carrot juice. Over medium heat return soup to a simmer and add salt and pepper. Serve with chives and sour cream.
