Oh, knock it off. Seriously.
I've got a three hundred dollar knife roll that sits in storage while I use my $6 sets of IKEA knives constantly. Run them over a steel every time you use them and they'll last. I've been using these two sets for over four years now. And you can run them in the dishwasher.
Here's a seven quart dutch oven for $40. If you want to save even more, the five quart is $26. It'll do things both on the stove and in the oven. It's a workhorse.
Bamboo/wooden stirring spoons can be had for a few dollars, as can cutting boards.
That's all you really need to start making soup for yourself on the utensil and gear front.
As for the food, well, a bag of onions, one of carrots, and celery will run you under ten bucks. A pack of boneless skinless chicken thighs a couple bucks more. A box of fusili is maybe two bucks if you're splurging. Salt is for cheap, so is pepper, and so is a bottle of oil. You don't even need stock if you're willing to simmer a little longer, but even that's not outrageously expensive. Under two bucks for a quart to make life easier. Good homemade chicken soup is cheap, easy, and a good place to start. It also will store well in the fridge for a few days, and is easy to build on. Got a bag of mixed veg? Toss it in.
Start small with a few strategic purchases, and you can be cooking at home, cheaper than eating out, in no time. You don't need a four gallon stock pot right out of the gate. That one dutch oven can multitask like a champ. I'll cook carnitas in mine, then use it to make beans and sausage, then turn around and make a one pot of chicken, sausage, and vegetables.
Cooking at home is much easier than most people think, and much easier than you just made it out to be. Starting out, you can do wonders with nothing more than salt and pepper, and there's no need to fill a cabinet right away with other stuff. Do it gradually.
Find and follow recipes. Use mise en place to help smooth things out to avoid wasting the stuff you paid for.
Are you going to be a world class chef? No. You probably won't be. Will you be competent enough to feed yourself without relying on take away, and enjoy your food? Yeah, that's not hard.
Just watch Chef John for a few hours. Pick a recipe and follow it. It's not alchemy and voodoo. Stop acting like it is.
