I wouldn't be so sure without tasting it. Kids can have some... strange ideas about ingredients for cooking.
Yeah, we just know that it is a substance that can be described by some as "soup", not that it necessarily is edible. Or healthy to even be in the vicinity of. "I added some radium, to give you that radiant healthy glow!"

Then she'd also have to leave out any poultry. Her options for ingredients would be rather slim. Even rock soup would be iffy, given who three of her aunts are.

Spirulina broth might be a possibility... it's not actually algae (plant kingdom) but cyanobacteria (Arthrospira species)... and any good heath-food store would have it available.

"good for you" and terrible-tasting... the sort of thing Grandma used to make you choke down
