# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and sliced carrots, cooking for another 2-3 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in shredded rotisserie chicken and drizzle with soy sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
