Morphology

soupiness = soupy (transparent) = soup + y + ness

Simple and regular adjective-to-noun formation: 'soupy' + '-ness' yields the literal quality of being like soup.

Etymology

Soupiness comes from the simple word soup, which began as bread soaked in hot broth and then the thick, warm food we call soup. So soupiness means the quality of being 'like soup' — thick, wet and creamy, which is why cooks use it to talk about texture.
