Add all the seasonings and stir, while bringing to the boil.
Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Dumplings

Cut in the butter, to make fine crumbs.
Slowly add liquid and mix to form a soft scone dough.

Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until dumplings are risen and cooked through.
Serve immediately. Any left overs reheat well.
