Remove from the pan. In a saucepan, sauté the finely chopped sauerkraut in a little oil. Add the canned tomatoes and pour in the meat broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the sauerkraut is soft, then add the onions and dumplings. Stir in the caraway seeds, pepper, and paprika.
