Okay, this theory is a bit loose and it has a few flaws, but it deserves a mention. May contain spoilers for episodes 3-5.
So, look at these.

1. There are portals in every scene.
But in the cover for ep 6, there is something strange. The portal is the only one that doesn't correspond to one of the original order member's stones on the amulet. Our theory is that this is Soren's portal.
Going from our last theory, Soren's corresponding ore is iron and his accent block is gold, yellow and white. Now looking at the photo for ep 6, You can see that the portal is VERY yellow, but on the floor there is quartz, white. Therefore, we believe that this portal may represents Soren.
2. People don't just disappear.
Since episode 4, Soren seemed to have vanished. This is simply not the case, however.
Let's rule out the places he could be;
The End got flooded by Jesse in ep 3. The Endermen wouldn't return there, so there is no reason for him to return and continue his research.
Soren's fortress got destroyed by the Witherstorm. While in the game, Soren runs into the fortress, he does not come out. He also didn't appear at the end of episode 4 with the other order members. There is also no light on his stone on the amulet when shown in the ceremony.
Sky City got destroyed by the Ocelots, no sorry BLAZE RODS. If he was once there, then he is not there anymore. It isn't impossible that he could have been in Sky City when Jesse and the others came. They also stumble across Soren's book, 'Habits of the Endermen', if you click on the bookshelf. He may have taken a portal there and may have even gone into gone into hiding. Of course, this ties into our last theory relatively well.
Redstonia, Boom Town and Gabriel's fortress were destroyed by the Witherstorm. Of course there is Ivor's secret lab, but he couldn't possibly go to the Far Lands, just so he wouldn't be found.
The Nether is too chaotic for someone like Soren.
Telltale wouldn't let Soren die and they wouldn't let him kill himself without the protagonists knowing.
Therefore, there is only a few more places that he could be. The most likely (in relevance to the plot), is through that portal.
OUR THEORY
After Soren ran off into his fortress, he grabbed his things and somehow found a way to get to Sky City. Once he got there, he met up with Isa and went into hiding.
After he found out that Jesse and Ivor were there, he fled Sky City to go find someplace else to live. He discovered the portal on the ground, lit it and stepped through. He knew that they would be following, so deactivated the portal and buried it before they could go through.
Soren found the corridor full of thousands of lit portals and stepped through one. He found himself stranded in that dimension, and started to settle there.
NOTE: The dimension most likely contains Endermen.
