When Aristotle defines the soul as οὐσία in De Anima, he clearly states that the sense he takes into account is that of form. However, his treatments of οὐσία seem not to utterly coincide with this one because they mainly points to the sense of the matter-form compound. Is there a sense that fits the soul? Metaphysics Z, 17 could provide an answer.
