Ahhhh sweet potatoes...the thing dreams are made of at holiday time, or anytime at all for that matter. I probably would use vegetable broth instead of chicken and I couldn't help but wonder if the eggs would scramble in the cooking process. Maybe if they were beaten with the sugar mixture before hand that would prevent from happening...if it does.
