soupy

Dense with moisture

Soupy describes something with the consistency or appearance of soup—thick, liquid, murky.

Fog can be soupy, as can mud after heavy rain: The air was soupy with humidity.

The word often suggests unpleasant density or murkiness.

Informally, soupy can describe something excessively sentimental: a soupy romantic ballad.
