I noticed that too. When I was a kid ‘goulash’ had macaroni in it. It wasn’t until I was in my early-to-mid-20s and went to a little (24 seats) Czechoslovakian restaurant in Hollywood, and had real goulash. (But usually I ordered the duck.)

Their other cream soups can work also. My kids prefer the cream of chicken (cream of mushroom can get old).
