Recipe from Silesia; from my grandmother

Cut the onion into strips or dice, depending on your preference. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and sauté the onions over medium heat until they begin to brown. Then add the caraway seeds and deglaze with the vinegar and broth. Reduce by half, then add the bay leaf and sauerkraut. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes with the lid closed. Finally, add the white beans and the broth from the can. Mix well and let simmer for another 15-30 minutes over low to medium heat. Tastes even better reheated! This is how my Silesian grandmother always made sauerkraut.
