Taco Soup

One of our physicians, Dr. Jacob West, favorite dishes growing up is taco soup that his mom would make. The simple dish calls for ground turkey and beans. Garnished with cilantro, cheese, tortilla chips and onions, taco soup provides a mix of proteins and antioxidants that support the heart and digestive system.
