Here is a good video for you to watch where I explain what all the different protein powders available for purchase are, how they differ and which are the best options: http://www.evolutionary.org/forums/supplements/new-video-protein-supplements-explained-47160.html
A man should not include soy in his diet because it is estrogenic.
When you go to your typical supplement store, you have 4 main protein supplements available to purchase:
1. A whey protein
2. A casein protein
3. A egg protein
4. A vegetable protein such as soy, hemp, brown rice, gemma pea, or alfalfa
Out of all the protein choices available, the gold stand is whey protein. It has the highest bioavailability and best amino acid profile. There are two main types of whey protein available: a whey protein isolate and a whey protein concentrate. The problem with a whey protein concentrate is that it will contain a few grams of lactose (the milk sugar naturally occurring in dairy products) per serving. The majority of adult humans have a lactose sensitivity which can cause GI issues like gas, bloating and diarrhea. A whey protein isolate on the other hand is essentially pure protein and will have only trace amounts of lactose.
When purchasing a whey protein isolate you want to see nothing in the ingredients list besides whey protein isolate, natural flavours, a natural calorie free sweetener like stevia and maybe some salt, cocoa powder and soy lecithin.
I personally use the whey protein powder isolation from n2bm.com. A 30g scoop has 26g protein, 1g carbs and 0g fat.

Soy is not the best option for a protein powder. Since you will be bulking, why not go with a pure whey isolate like Isolation from N2BM that you can add ingredients to. There are countless options from berries to almond butter, to oatmeal that you can add to a shake to get some extra good quality calories.
Unless you are a vegan, I don't see the need to use a soy based protein. Whey isolate is superior to any other protein form, so I would rather recommend you to get that, which is even easier than getting soy protein.
