Christine seems to be right; there are cans of soup in a lot
of her recipes, and other overly-processed ingredients like
garlic powder.
Then there are a lot of ingredients that *could* be something
other than processed foods, like mayonaisse and chicken stock,
so you'd have to have more information about what she's
actually doing. One suspects processed in most cases.
