Instructions: Cut pumpkin, potatoes and carrots into pieces and steam until tender.

Remove peel from pumpkin. Save steaming water. Saute onion and garlic in a little olive oil until transparent. Puree onion, garlic and vegetables in a food processor, adding reserved water. Return the puree to a saucepan and add spices, salt and pepper, cream, butter and soy sauce. If soup is too thick, thin with a little water, milk or chicken stock. Heat but do not boil. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and chives.
