In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. SautΓ© for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Transfer the sautΓ©ed vegetables to the crock pot. Add the diced potatoes, corn, chicken broth, Old Bay seasoning, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
After the cooking time, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup directly in the crock pot, leaving some chunks for texture. (Alternatively, transfer 2 cups of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the crock pot.)
Add the shrimp to the crock pot and stir in the heavy cream. Cover and cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and pink.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick.
Enjoy your hearty and delicious Shrimp and Corn Soup straight from the crock pot!
