You can use the ChannelFactoryclass even in pure dotnet core. It is fairly simple.

var binding = new BasicHttpsBinding();
var endpoint = new EndpointAddress(new Uri("https:///SimpleSOAPService.svc"));
dynamic channelFactory = new ChannelFactory(binding, endpoint);
var serviceClient = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
var result = serviceClient.Ping();
channelFactory.Close();

You can find a working GitHub example here.

Don't forget to change between BasicHttpBinding and BasicHttpsBinding depending on whether you are using HTTP or HTTPS in the URL.
