    I just made my lovely beef stew, which my other half swoons over, it's much easier than the above and I just don't know why a stew recipe would have sugar in? Also, how much sugar in the soup?

    Try this: pack of stewing beef (mine was Aldi), 1 onion, pack of button mushrooms, beef stock cube, teaspoon grainy mustard. I use my pressure cooker, ready in an hour. Otherwise .... Brown meat in pan (no oil needed), get it nice and brow, add onions, Cook to soften. Add a sprinkling of plain flour and stir in (to thicken), place in slow cooker or oven dish, add mushrooms and mustard, stock cube in about half pint of boiling water and some herbs (marjoram), season if required. Cook in pressure cooker for one hour, main oven about three/four hours or slow cooker about six/seven. Enjoy!
