I've made something similar to that....you can try it yourself.  Mix flour 

(one cup to start) with water til it makes a dough...you can experiment with 

the water.  If you add too much water, and it's watery, just add more flour!

Then roll it out til thin, cut into strips and drop into the chicken stock.  I 

do this quite often.  Hope it works out for ya...let me know.
