16. I had a fair amount of hamburger meat leftover from the previous night. To use it up I turned them into meatballs and added the meat into the soup. I attached the meatball recipe here if you would also like to use the recipe. Bake them as the recipe says and then add the meatballs to the soup. I added them around step 11. https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/361023-sticky-barbacue-meatballs.
