Oriental Meatball Soup image

This recipes is my entry for this weeks Ninja Chefs Mystery Basket Challenge. When I saw the ingredients for the challenge my thoughts were instantly of some kind of soup, especially since it is now fall and the chilly weather. I made this tonight for dinner and it was delicious.

MEATBALLS
1/2 lb sweet ground italian sausage
1/4 c bread crumbs, whole wheat
white from 1 large egg
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp minced garlic
SOUP INGREDIENTS
48 oz carton of chicken broth

6 oz fresh sugar snap peas, stems and strings removed (about 2 1/4 cups)
