To get your 2021 Kia Soul ready to tow a trailer you're going to need a trailer hitch, wiring kit for the trailer lights, and a ball mount kit. Please note that when I looked up the online owner's manual for your 2021 Kia Soul it stated that Kia does not recommend towing with your vehicle. If you choose to still do so I recommend using the parts mentioned below.
I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C67FR and T-Connector Wiring # C89KR for the parts that install on your vehicle. Curt has been in the towing business for a long time and they produce reliable products. To position your wiring connector next to your hitch receiver you can use the mounting brackets # C57202 and # C42CR.
Then for a ball mount kit I recommend the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45023 1-7/8" Ball # A-80 or 2" Ball # A-82 depending on your trailer coupler size, and then the hitch pin # F-4.
