Once the butter has melted, add the sweet potatoes, celery and onion.

Saute 4-5 minutes, then add the garlic, sage, thyme, salt and pepper, saute 1-2 minutes, then pour 1 cup of the chicken or vegetable broth into the pot.

Bring to a boil and cook until the sweet potatoes are almost tender, 6-8 minutes.

Slice the cornbread into cubes. Add to the vegetables with the toasted bread cubes.

Add the eggs and remaining chicken, or vegetable, broth. Toss together and transfer to a roasting pan.
