Technically, Asriel (for some reason, not Flowey - I don't get that one) had seven souls as soon as he absorbed the souls that Asgore collected: Six from Asgore, and seven counting the First Human's soul. It's never clearly stated that the First Human's soul was lost, or disappeared, or what have you, so it's pretty easy to assume that the First Human's soul remained with Asriel, although it may have gone with his body (assuming Flowey's questioning whether Toriel took the body and buried it in the ruins) and that could explain the lack of it, but not entirely the lack of his rebirth prior to Frisk's falling into the Underground. You would assume that if the soul returned to the body, the body would rise again, but apparently that isn't the case here.
