There are a number of audio interfaces that come with limited ('light') DAWs.

When looking at audio interfaces consider:
1) Number of inputs/mic preamps. Maybe you only need one now, but you may want to move to a 2 mic set up in the future, so invest a little now for the future capability.
2) Driver availability. Some older (used) interfaces don't have drivers for the latest Mac OS or Win 10. Some don't come with drivers at all and rely on generic drivers or ASIO4ALL.
3) All DAWs are essentially equal, however the user interfaces differ - download a few and look at them and see which seems 'friendly' to you.

Besides an audio interface and DAW, you'll need a mic, stand, and headphones to get started.
