Light Split Pea Soup

1 package mixed vegetables (I used the Whole Foods 365 California blend with broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots)
1 c precooked turkey bacon
1 c caramelized onions
2 c dried split peas, rinsed
2 tbs dried thyme
2 bay leaves
2 cans chicken broth
1 c water

Mix all ingredients in the slow cooker, cook on low for 8-10 hours.

Note:  If you're pressed for time but don't have leftover caramelized onions sitting around, you can microwave them with some olive oil and the thyme for 4-5 minutes prior to adding them.  It's not the same exact flavor, but it's still pretty good!
