The following is from the University of Illinois. The recipe calls for using yogurt as the starter,
but I image the yogurt starter commonly available at health food stores will work also; IIRC, the
Solgar brand does not contain dairy. The recipe seems to basically be the same as for dairy yogurt:

Soy Yogurt
Ingredients:
4 cups soymilk either commercial or home made soy milk by INTSOY method (see recipe for soymilk) 2
to 3 tablespoons plain commercial yogurt (Dannon Plain Yogurt, etc) 5 tablespoons cane sugar 1
teaspoon vanilla flavor or other flavor as desired
Optional: Fruit preserves
Method:
1. Heat the pasteurized soy milk to 194oF (90oC) .
2. Add sugar to the heated soymilk base and keep the temperature at 194oF (90oC), heating only long
enough to dissolve the sugar. Add flavor.
3. Cool the milk to 122oF (50oC). Add the commercial yogurt, gently mix the contents thoroughly and
avoid the formation of foam. Pour the milk into cups and then seal with a cap.
4. Immediately place the cups into an incubator, or an oven at 106oF (41oC) for approximately 5 hr.
After 4-1/2 hr of incubation, closely monitor the pH of the yogurt. When the pH reaches 4.3 or
desired sourness, transfer the yogurt to a refrigerator at 36oF (2oC).
5. After 12 hr refrigeration, the yogurt can be served.
Option: To make yogurt with fruit on bottom, place 2 to 3 teaspoons fruit preserve into the bottom
of each of the yogurt cups. Gently fill the mixture from step 3 into yogurt cups to near the top
and then seal with a cap. Soy yogurt can be made by a yogurt maker following the instruction.
