Apple-Goat Cheese Crostini
Ingredients
- 2½ lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or use vegetable broth)
- 1½ cups chopped onion

- 2 tsp fresh thyme

- ¼ cup butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- ½ cup chopped walnuts

- Process potato mixture using an immersion blender or in batches in a blender with center of lid removed so heat can escape.
