Post ear yeast infection and food

Hey there! My dog Hailey keeps having ear yeast infections since Nov 2010. The first time the vet gave her some MOMETAMEX ear drops to use for 10 days.Then after seeing no improvement(she kept scratching her ears /shaking her head/strong ear odor) i took her back to the vet and told me to do a 2nd cycle with the same drops for 14 days this time. Still no improvement.
Now the other day i took her to the vet again and he told me most likely Hailey has food allergy. She's been on "CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE DOG LOVER'S SOUL"(ADULT FORMULA,dry) for over 2 years now. He told me to switch her to one of their food " Roal Canine HYPOALLERGENIC HYDROLYZED ADULT HP"(which is pretty expensive) because he said dog's allergy are mostly caused by beef and dairy.Chicken soup has no beef, only chicken and turkey.
So he gave me more drops (Synotic w/Baytril) to use for 14 days and he said no beef or dairy and to switch her food as soon as possible.
Could chicken soup be the cause of her yeast infections? I've tried other brands in the past like Canidae, Merrick, Wellness Simple solutions but she doesn't seem to like those much. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!
