In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat. When the bacon fat begins to render, add in the diced onion. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes. Save some bacon pieces for later to garnish on top of soup, if you would like.
When the onions start to soften add in the butter. Let it melt, then add in the corn. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Add chilies and stir, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then pour in cream.
In a small container, combine Masa with a little bit of water and mix together. Pour it into the soup. Allow to cook and thicken for about 15 minutes. Let simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
