I live in the UK and don't care for chicken. Can I use beef and sausage?

Can I include ingredients that we would use in a traditional English beef stew? Potato, carrots, wine, leek etc?

Can I use soup instead of stock? What would it taste like if I substituted stock for French onion soup from a can?
