Cook bacon on a skillet or in the oven. Allow to cool slightly and cut into bite sized pieces.
Place cooked bacon in a crockpot along with the yellow onion, carrots, celery, yellow potato, chicken breasts, corn, salt, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, and chicken broth. Stir and cover.
Set to cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. Ensure that the chicken has reached at least an internal temperature of 165F. The chicken should easily shred. Remove the chicken from the crockpot and shred with 2 forks.
Remove about ⅓ of the soup from the crockpot and blend with an immersion blender or a standard blender. Pour it back into the crockpot along with the shredded chicken and heavy cream. Taste and season with salt if needed.
Stir to mix together and serve immediately. Top with extra crispy bacon, fresh parsley and black pepper.
