  1. In a large skillet heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium heat 1 minute or until hot. Add onion; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until softened. Add sweet potatoes and thyme; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from skillet; set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan heat broth over medium heat; reduce heat to medium-low; simmer.
