There's lots of protein in beans, lentils, legumes, nuts, soymilk, and tofu.

Tofu, nuts, soy, legumes (well, you only wanted a few).
Despite a widespread belief that vegetarians must eat grains and beans within a few hours of each other in order to make a 'complete' protein which contains all 9 "essential amino acids", this has never been substantiated by research. The protein-combining theory was brought to popular attention in Frances Moore Lappé's 1971 bestseller Diet for a Small Planet. In later editions of the book, as early as 1981, Lappé withdrew her contention that protein 'combining' is necessary.

I have to comment to all the posters who listed both beans/soy AND tofu-what do you think tofu is made of? That's right-soy, which is a BEAN.
The answer is -beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains. Many vegetables contain surprising amounts of protein but none are what I would call high in it. Quinoa is a delicious seed that is protein rich, versatile and easy to prepare-I highly recommend it.
Of course, eggs and dairy are also good sources of protein if you eat those.
Beans, nuts and seeds. Soy, pecan and hemp are my favorite.
I put soy powder in almost all my food. Shakelee is the best, imo. I drink soy milk every day. Silk is my favorite. Pecans are awesome. They make good pie, too. I like crushed hemp seeds in my oatmeal with brown sugar and soy milk. I've also been thinking of making pecans and hemp seed into granola bars.
Hemp seeds are legally imported if they are sterile, as in: can't grow into plants. But they're just as nutritious. You can get them at most Vitamin World stores.
I'm pretty sure bee pollen is a source of protein. If you're not allergic to bees or going straight vegan, bee pollen might be yummy.
I used to be a vegetarian, but then I was slapped with a real cheesesteak and fell in love.
