Bro... Just like playing guitar, you won't get anywhere without the proper tools. Get something to cook with. Get something to eat out of. Quit being so damned cheap. Check yard sales if you are strapped for cash.
Also go to the Dollar Store. They sell pots and pans there also. Flea Markets always have cheap stock pots (5-10 dollars)
Get a 5 qt. stock pot and try this:
1 5-lb tube hamburger cut in half
1 large can of veg-all
1 large can stewed tomatoes
lots of gahhhhlic
salt and pepper (everglades seasoning if you are from the south) :)
water

In pot, cook 2.5 lbs hamburger until it's not mad anymore
fill half way with water
add can of veg-all, tomatoes
throw in lots and lots of chopped garlic
season and finish filling to 3/4 if the veggies didn't do it for you
Bring to boil and cook for 1/2 hour
eat and enjoy

Cool thing about this is you can add stuff if you want, like corn and cabbage
As you eat the soup and start running low, you can just add more water and re-season until all the burger and veggies are gone.
Use the other half of the burger to make something else because you will get bored with this soup after a while.

You can make tomato soup by using pureed tomatoes, milk, and seasonings a whole lot cheaper than you can buy them. If you can find a food chopper cheap get it and use real tomatoes for an even cheaper alternative.
