In a 4-1/2-quart Dutch oven or large pot combine the water, undrained tomatoes, beef, and chicken bouillon granules. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Add chicken pieces. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 45 minutes more or until beef and chicken are tender. Remove chicken pieces and set aside.

Stir potatoes, succotash, okra, carrot, onion, curry powder, and sugar into mixture in Dutch oven or pot. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
