NO! Soft opt-in is where you've traded with someone, gathering their
email address, *and* asked if you can send future emails [1], and *then*
send unsolicited emails (in the sense that each future email wasn't a
response to a specific enquiry by the consumer) which meet the criteria
in the original permission.
And each email must be recognisable as unsolicited (see my comments a
moment ago) under the separate EComms Regs.
And each email must give the option of unsubscribing from any more.
