What's the difference between protein and soy protein?
Answers:
Interestingly, a lot of people believe that the body "cares" where proteins and other nutrients come from. In reality, food is broken down into nutrients which are chemical compounds that the body uses. With protein, your body further breaks down this compound into amino acids. Your cells don't distinguish between amino acids that come from a plant or an animal.
The body can not store essential amino acids, so we do need a fresh supply of them each day. In our current society, we think it's normal to eat huge quantities of meat, practically at each meal. This is not healthy for a lot of reasons, and is overloading the body with protein. A serving of meat is the size of a deck of playing cards, not a chunk of beef the size of your head.
A 150 pound person needs about 66 grams of protein a day. 4 ounces of extra lean, broiled ground beef has about 33 grams of protein, it also has about 56% of those calories in fat and about 200 calories (remember, this is extra lean and broiled; a quarter pounder with cheese has 510 calories and about 60% of the fat is saturated). On the other hand, a cup of beans contains the same amount of protein, but much less in calories and fat by about half, with the added benefit of having vitamins and fiber.
When you're weighing two sources of protein, it seems to me that the lower fat, higher in other nutrients option is the most logical - and that choice is the source from vegetables.

protien can come from any source. Like from Whey, steak chicken, fish. Soy protien comes from soy beans specifically.

Protein is a classification while soy protein is a type of protein.
If you had asked what the difference is between protein and carbs or fat then this question might make sense.
If you had asked what the difference is between soy and meat or grain or anything it might have made sense.
If you made a mistake add some details and we will try to answer it. In the mean time there is no difference between generic protein and the protein found in soy beans.
Protein is a basic building block of life. Vegetable proteins can be easier to digest though and do not come with the additional fats that animal meat provides.
Protein is one of the Macronutrients, Carbs and Fats are the others. Proteins are made up of amino acids. Soy protein comes from soy beans, whey protein comes dairy whey.
Some proteins contain all of the amino acids, and some only contain a few, that's the difference between a complete and incomplete proteins. As long as you a wide vartiey of fruits, vegetables and grains you will get enough proteins. You don't have to eat complete proteins to get all the different kinds of amino acids your body needs as long you eat a variety of foods and a balanced diet you'll get all you need.
A protein is simply a collection of amino acids and the major difference between one protein and another protein is the amino acids that make the specfic proteins in question.
So your question as stated can't be answered, but I hope what I've said helps you understand better what proteins are.
