Heat a Dutch oven with oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots. Saute until nearly tender, ~5 minutes.
Add chicken and soup seasoning and saute, breaking chicken apart, until chicken is nearly cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
Stir in garlic and mushrooms. Saute for 1 minute more.
Add stock, tomatoes (including liquid), and zucchini to soup.
Cover soup and bring to a simmer. Simmer soup until zucchini is tender, 6 to 8 minutes more.
