Wiring harnesses for the 2011 Kia Soul such as the Curt # C56222 that fits versions without LED lights can certainly be re-installed in a different vehicle so long as that other vehicle is compatible. As it happens the 2015 Soul can use this same trailer wiring harness so it will work for you. I suggest you use dielectric grease like # LT37534 to help protect the connections from moisture and dirt.
However, the hitches for the 2011 and 2015 model years are NOT the same so you cannot re-install the hitch from your 2011 on your 2015. These two vehicles are from different generations of the Soul and their frames and hitch installation points are different.
We do have 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches for the 2015 Soul that can be seen on the included link. Of the three options I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24915 because it offers the same capacity as the others but costs less. An installation video and the written instructions are linked for you.
