Yes, as long as the traffic is flowing to or from IP x.x.x.x

Do you know one of the values?  If so, you can do a display filter (the 
"host x.x.x.x" is a capture filter) such as "frame contains <value>".  

Wireshark may be able to identify it in particular if the dissectors 
support it.  I'm not too familiar with SOAP to be able to say.
