Method: 

Place the corn, carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, broth, clam juice, wine, bay leaf, garlic powder, and pepper in a lightly greased large slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

Remove and discard the bay leaf. Using an immersion blender, pulse the soup to slightly purée. Add the shrimp and cream and stir well.
