Can You Take Creatine and Soy Protein Isolate Together?
Dose or timing may matter
The short answer
Soy protein isolate increases urea nitrogen production, adding to creatine's creatinine clearance burden on the kidneys. Both contribute to overall renal filtration workload.
How to arrange timing
Drink 3+ L of water daily. This is a common sports nutrition combination and is generally safe with adequate hydration.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
