Soybeans are in things like soy milk (duh) and tofu, and edamame is just soy beans, so obviously edamame. Soy is also in lots of protein/energy bars, so check your labels if you're worried.
They also sell soy protein powder you can add to smoothies. In small doses soy is FINE, but if it's the only way you're getting protein, or you're eating tons of it at every meal, that's not so good. I use soy protein powder in smoothies maybe once a week, and we eat edamame and tofu maybe once a week as well.

It's a great source of protein. Just make sure it's non-GMO and you're fine. A cup or less of coffee a day also isn't going to hurt you. I've been drinking a cup of half-caffeinated coffee a day since 16 weeks and baby is fine!
