Chili - beans or no beans?

[Harvest Moon]

Goulash is a spicy thin soup made with meat and vegetables and served with galuska which is pretty much the same as German spaetzle . It's not the thick stew served over noodles that most Americans associate it with, that is actually called perkot (sp) in Hungarian. Paprikash is also served with galuska, but it uses the same technique as chili in the way that you add powdered spices and liquid while reducing it.

Thanks sallly, I would love to get any traditional recipes that you have. We call the thin spicy Goulash you described "Goulash Soup". But also make a thicker version that is similar to the technique used to make chili. The correct name is probably porkolt or marhaporkolt, but my grandmother, who did not speak English, called it Gulyas.
