3. Chuck in cubed sweet potatoes and remaining broth, and simmer over medium heat. If using fresh herbs, add them now. Stir occasionally, and after 10-15 minutes, check if sweet potatoes are soft (poke one with a knife and it should slide in).
4. Season with salt and pepper, maple syrup and lime juice and give another stir. If you used a cinnamon stick, fish it out now.
