I'm neither a vegetarian nor a doctor, but my (limited) understanding is that saturated fat is what raises LDL cholesterol. So, cutting out cheese, full-fat dairy, and butter should go a long way towards bringing LDL down.
Can't help you with the soy questions. I'm interested to see what others have to say, as it wouldn't hurt me to east some tofu every now and then.
EDIT: Dr. Google turned up this page, which I found useful: http://www.lowfatlifestyle.com/cholesterol.htm
