But, it could be the way you described, shaving a portion of many Shinigami's souls which they can regenerate to make new Asauchi, I suppose we will never know.

It might also be that the Asauchi are just made by Oetsu as a blank template for a Shinigami's soul to fill now but the first one was made by a similar process at White, in a time where the Gotei 13's Captains weren't that caring about their subordinates.

One thing about that that bothers me, if White and asauchi are similar does that make all asauchi spirits like hollows? I mean, their eyes are hungry mouths that look like the ones that a soul chain forms when it is trying to hollowfy (like Ichigo's did during his training with Urahara to get back his shinigami powers) and they look blank white monstrous humanoids.
