Tuesday Night: Leftover Chicken, Braised Red Cabbage, Pea Pod Soup

We're going to be eating leftover roast chicken all week. :-)

Last night I sauteed some chunks of chicken in a bit of olive oil and served them with the leftover pan sauce. To go with that I made sweet and sour braised cabbage using the half head of red cabbage leftover from Saturday. The star was the pea pod soup, made from a recipe in JPT using the pods from Sunday's peas and enriched with a bit of cream.

The sharp, assertive cabbage complemented the subtle, creamy soup really nicely. This was a pleasant surprise because I was a little worried that the cabbage would overwhelm the soup.
