Kinda Thai Soup

I saw someone make something like this on a cooking showdown show but couldn't find the recipe, so I made this up. It is light but very filling.

4 cups chicken broth
4 cups water
1 large chicken breast, whole
1 bunch of asparagus, ends trimmed off and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 carrot, peeled and then shaved
3/4 c frozen peas (don't thaw)
1/2 a package of Thai style rice noodles (you need about 5 oz)
1 tsp chili paste
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp soy sauce
2 green onions
2 limes
Salt and pepper

In a large pot over high heat bring chicken broth to a boil. Add the chicken breast and cook until done (8-10 minutes). Take out of pot and shred, set aside. Add water and noodles to pot. Cook for about 8 minutes and then add asparagus and onion. Cook for another 2 or 3 minutes and add peas, carrot shavings, and chicken to pot. Stir in chili paste, curry powder, soy sauce, and juice of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with more soy sauce, chili paste, and lime wedges.
