soupiness

Overly watery consistency

Soupiness is the quality of being soupy—watery, thick, or resembling soup in consistency.

Weather can have a soupiness when fog or humidity makes the air feel dense: The soupiness of the August afternoon was unbearable.

The word also describes excessive sentimentality: The film's soupiness made it hard to take seriously.
