Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Make the croutons:
Melt 1 tablespoon butter, then mix with the paprika in a bowl.
Add the bread cubes and toss.
Spread on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes.
Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
Discard all but about 1 tablespoon fat from the pan.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, then add the leeks and garlic;
Cover and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the broth, 2 cups water, the potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper;
Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
Puree half the soup in a blender (remove the filler cap to let steam escape), then return to the pot.
Add the cream and bring to a simmer.
Add the peas and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve topped with the croutons, bacon and parsley.
