I want to test the chloride ion concentration in the soil sample where I am conducting a research, but I cannot find a procedure to proceed. Thanks in advance!
Generally soluble chloride ions are determined in the saturated extract of soil solution by the method described by Richards (1954).

Chloride ions in soil can be determined by silver nitrate titration using potassium chromate as an indicator.

I suggest you try adding distilled water and the use chloride aquaread's testing meters that are normally sold by manufacturers.
