As soon as possible is the correct phrase, soonest is a superlative and you are using it in the wrong way with possible here.

Technically and grammatically 'soonest possible' doesn't make sense. As soon as possible would be correct.

It would get the correct message across, so it's correct in that sense. Are you asking if it's grammatically correct? Absolutely not. To be grammatically correct, "as soon as possible" would be what you should use.
