Sure, SOAP can be used over SSL encrypted HTTP.  SOAP messages are just
that, messages, and can and have been delivered by nearly any method,
including http(s), smtp, jabber, and if you're truly desparate, even
smoke signals.  The point is that SOAP is not tied to the transport
mechanism.  Your SOAP library or framework will be the limiting factor
in what means it is able to exchange mesages.
