For one triplet and no gauge multiplet, the only nonzero -invariant soft term is the universal scalar mass,
An invariant bilinear does not exist, and the formal trilinear vanishes because the scalar fields commute. Thus the phrase “general soft terms” does not generate further interactions for the field content stated in the question.
