Place the water, soup bone and stew meat in a large soup kettle. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 hours. Remove soup bone and meat; allow to cool. Remove beef from bone and cut into bite sized pieces; return to kettle. Add vegetables to the broth and simmer for 45 minutes - 1 hour, till fork tender. In a bowl, add enough flour to the beaten egg to form a stiff dough. Stir in a pinch of salt. Bring soup to a gentle boil. Using a fork and a squiggle motion, drop small amounts of the dough into the broth. Cook squiggle noodles about 5 - 10 minutes, till tender. Adjust seasoning before serving.
