Consume a SOAP Service in an Azure function

Environment

Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise on MAC, Mono 5.12.0.309

Problem

I've successfully built and packaged an Azure Function. Now, I'd like to call a SOAP Web service in the function (over which I have no control). I added a Web Reference to the published WSDL and tried to compile the function which resulted in a ton of errors primarily indicating "System.Web.Services" namespace is missing.

"System.Web" doesn't seem to be part of .NET Core 2.1 (that is referenced in the function project). How would I then add a reference to "System.Web.Services" assembly? Is there a NuGet package?

UPDATE

Part of this was my lack of understanding of what .NET Core actually is. Since I'm using .NET Core, I can't make reference to assemblies that are targeting .NET Framework. "System.Web.Services" seems to be one.

Now the question becomes, how one would then call SOAP Services from .NET Core application?

You can use the new WCF client side stack on .NET Core: https://github.com/dotnet/wcf

There is a good sample to a question on this thread: Calling a SOAP service in .net Core
