After the frenzy of holiday cooking, baking, and feasting, and with no major holidays until Easter, it often seems that winter cooking is an afterthought. Anne Bramley, a self-proclaimed lover of winter, disagrees. She shows us that winter is full of inspiration in the kitchen, and that the holidays are not the only reason to look forward to a long cold snap.

Heat the butter in large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat to medium high. Add the pork and stir to brown on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the flour and all the paprika over pork and stir until coated, cooking for another minute. Slowly add the beef broth while stirring. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 50 minutes.
Add the chicken broth, caraway seeds, tomato sauce, and sauerkraut. Bring back to a simmer. Cover and cook for an additional 45 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Slowly stir into the stew. Simmer, uncovered, for an additional 5 minutes, until stew is the desired thickness. Add salt and pepper to taste.
