I've found that the fastest way to do these is to go in and do a lvl 1 Torghast run. You don't have to run around looking for them in the maw that way and you basically oneshot any mobs. You get between 15-20 per run depending if you are just running to the end or not

Patch 9.0.5 (2021-03-09): Once players have recruited the maximum amount of Souls for their Covenant, your weekly quest to rescue Souls from the Maw will now award you with 500 Anima.
Edit: Return Lost Souls by default offers the currency Redeemed Souls and covenant Renown. Once your character has the maximum amount of Redeemed Souls, you will get 500 Anima instead of the Redeemed Souls. You will not be offered Anima if your character has fewer than 100 Redeemed Souls.
This weekly gets totally removed and reset when you change covenant. Changing back to past covenant and picking it up again will not bring back progress.

Description
Souls continue to pour into the Maw. Their anima, our very lifeblood of the Shadowlands, is going with those souls to fuel the Jailer. You rescued me from the Maw. I see no reason you cannot pull more souls from that abyss. Bring souls you rescue from the Maw to me and I shall see them put to better use. At least in Revendreth they have a chance of redemption.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Replenish the Reservoir
Right, here's the gig: we need anima. Not just a bit or a pinch, but a lot. See, anythin' worth doin' can't be done without anima. Not in the Shadowlands. Not if we are gonna fix this mess Denathrius got us in.
