Yes. You can create a XPath Match assertion. Use the count() function.

There is a website that is a nice reference for all the XPath functions: http://zvon.org/comp/r/ref-XPath_2.html#Functions~count

You can add and assertion of XPath Match type in your testStep, and there check the condition. i.e you have a response similar to:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <myRoot xmlns:nt="http://mynamespace/">
        <list>
            <element>data1</element>
            <element>data2</element>
            <element>data3</element>
        </list>
      </myRoot>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

enter image description here

Then add in your assertion the next XPath count(//*:myRoot/*:list/*:element) and set the expected result, in this case 3:

Hope this helps,
