When Business Insider's Anneta Konstantinides was at the beginning of her cooking journey, forced into the kitchen at the start of lockdown in 2020, no voice was more soothing than Ina Garten saying that "store-bought is fine!" With her foolproof and accessible recipes, the "Barefoot Contessa" star was the perfect idol for a novice chef. Garten never made Konstantinides feel bad about using shortcuts as her skills slowly progressed, even endorsing store-bought mashed potatoes or frozen pie crust during the holidays. But as winter descended on Los Angeles this year, Konstantinides constantly gravitated toward delicious soups. And after making a few with store-bought stock, she finally decided to try Garten's homemade version. Now, she'll never go back. See how to make it at the link in our bio.
