Shred and add to salads. It adds a nice crunch, texture, and taste.
Cut 1/2" thick, brush with olive oil, season with sea salt and pepper, and roast at 400F for 20 min.
Fish tacos: shred 2 cups cabbage and add juice of 1 lime, 1 Tbsp olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Season white fish with Cajun seasoning. Top fish tacos with avocado, tomato, cabbage, and cilantro.
Saute with some butter, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, mustard seeds, seaweed flakes.2 -

I like to use it in stir fry, salads, in coleslaw of course. I love kimchi but I've never made it. Here is something I found online with 20 cabbage recipes. Some of them look pretty yummy.

Stir in a whole bunch of thinly sliced cabbage and cook for several minutes until cabbage is tender. Sprinkle in some sliced green onions, salt and pepper to taste. Eat by itself or with rice, cauliflower rice, or quinoa.1

Grandma's Skillet Cabbage Supper (my German grandmother used to make this all the time)
Sliced sausage (pork, beef keilbasa, or chicken - I use chicken due to lower calories)
1-2 sliced granny smith apples
1/2 head of shredded cabbage
A little white wine
Brown the sausage slices. Add a little of the white wine (or water) to deglaze the pan. Add the apples and cabbage. Cover the pan and simmer until cabbage and apples are tender. Sometimes I'll throw in a little balsamic vinegar. I've also made this adding cauliflower or sliced peppers. So easy and Yum!2 -
Slice it up, drizzle with a little oil and roast it.
Beef and cabbage soup
coleslaw
cabbage rolls
add it to stir fry1 -
Braised cabbage is my favorite. Chop up some bacon (apple wood smoked is amazing) and fry it up. Add some onions sliced thin to the bacon and sautee until the onions are translucent. Add in your shredded head of cabbage and toss it around until coated. Add in a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar and a tsp of sugar. Then add some chicken stock, bring to a boil then go to the lowest setting let simmer for 45 minutes so the cabbage is nice and tender. I eat this as a side or a main dish with some kielbasi and it's fantastic!0

If you are on MFP to lose some weight I recommend making soup. Use whatever is available for a nice tasty low calorie low cost meal that will last a few days and taste just as good if you freeze it and eat it months later.
I typically use some sort of chicken, browns better than breast, anything low cost
Add onions, red pepper, carrot, a couple potato, chicken stock, hot sauce, roasted red pepper seasoning, salt, pepper. I like to add tomato too but you have to blanch and peel the skins off or they get nasty.
Put it all in a pot and let it simmer until you get the desired texture you want.
Make sure you don't only eat the soup in a day though, the cabbage soup diet is terrible for you. I eat the soup often for lunch and it allows me to have a larger, higher calorie dinner and stay within my calorie restriction.1 -

A lot of successful people on MFP have lost weight eating regular foods (including soup). Just because one is trying to lose weight doesn't automatically mean soup. I also didn't see where she was talking about eating the cabbage soup diet, but I agree it is a terrible diet to follow.0 -
Soups, stews, stir-fry, roasted in the oven, raw in salads or in sandwiches/tacos/wraps...the sky's the limit with cabbage.
This week I sautéed some chopped cabbage in a little olive oil until it started to wilt...added a few cloves of minced garlic, some frozen chopped spinach, red pepper flakes, curry powder, and just a pinch of sugar...cooked all of it down until the cabbage was nicely caramelized and the spinach heated through and incorporated with the cabbage. Then mixed it up with some rice...it made a lovely side to some pork chops.1 -

I'm not sure where you are going with this? If they are on here to gain weight or bulk up I wouldn't recommend making a low calorie soup I would recommend frying the cabbage and adding it to no yolk noodles with salt and pepper served with sausage. But since I don't know what their plan is I mentioned that if they are looking at losing weight a good idea would be low calorie cabbage soup.0 -
Make sauerkraut with one of you don't fancy consuming two huge cabbage within a few days!1

How do you or I know why they are on here at all? They were just asking for recipes for extra cabbage they had. Where I'm going is that you seem to be assuming that because people are here to lose weight that the recommendation should be low calorie soup. And then you started talking about the cabbage soup diet, which no where in the OP it was mentioned. A lot of successful people on here have lost weight by eating normal food, not just low calorie diet food. That's all I was saying.-1 -

Here's my recipe for Chicken & Cabbage Soup. Making this in a crock-pot is good for summer months. I just put it all in together in water and let it simmer on low 6 - 7 hours.
If you eat carbs, you can add cooked noodles or rice. If you eat low carb, you can add shirataki noodles or eat it as is.
Nutritional stats shown are:
(calories / total fat - sat fat / Sodium / carbs / fiber / sugar / protein) [Glycemic Load]
Chicken & Cabbage Soup Recipe makes 6 servings
**11 oz. chicken breast (skin and most fat removed) (341 / 0 / 770 S 0 / 0 / 0 / 66) [GL 0]

Around this part of the world, cabbage is for cabbage rolls.
https://grannys.ca/recipe/wild-rice-and-turkey-cabbage-rolls/
The above recipe is a little fussy but I'm betting it would be a crowd pleaser.
A great tip is to freeze the leaves first so they roll easily.

A simple stir fry recipe:

I'd be tempted to make this stir fry a little more colorful with julienned carrots cooked a few minutes before adding the cabbage.1 -
