Break bay leaf in half and add to pan. Add thyme, potatoes, and 1 ½ C stock/water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in corn(s), half-and-half, and milk. Bring back to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add crab meat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Stir in sherry. Season with salt and pepper.
Ladle into individual serving bowls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot. Serve 4 to 6.
