The soul becomes both substance and subject in Hegel’s analysis.

Evidence

The relation of the elementary substance to immediate individuality is presented as a relation between the individuality and its own personal being, its own ‘Self’. From this point on, the soul is, on its own account, both substance and subject. Hegel insists on this outcome: ‘As individual, the soul is, in general, exclusive, and it posits all difference as a difference within itself: … In this judgement, it is always subject: its object is its substance, which is at the same time its predicate.’ — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 359
