Right. So it’s open to question. That’s indeed why she hasn’t been charged.Withholding judgement on this one for now until the toxicology. She certainly is the victim of a scam, yet to be seen if she is a murderess.
While some reports imply those messages were in the same conversation, they may not be.
In some reports these messages seem far less incriminating.
According to police documents, a message from "Thorsten" on Dec. 1 stated: "You have to get rid of your husband honey. I need you so much," to which Roxanne Doucette replied she needed to do some thinking.
Later that day, at 2:34 p.m., police documents say Roxanne Doucette responded, "Making an amazing soup. Special potion. He will be hungry when he gets back. Just enough for him."
At 4:26 p.m., Roxanne Doucette says, "Hubby got back not feeling well. Maybe I can collect life insurance," according to police documents.

‘I’m a wonderful cook:’ Woman accused of poisoning husband at urging of bogus soap star
A Massachusetts woman is facing an attempted murder charge after investigators claim she tried to kill her husband at the urging of a person claiming to be a soap opera star.www.wcvb.com
As a poster had pointed out, it’s possible that she was only playing along about the soup and the life insurance to keep the connection with the “star” going. Women have been known to lie to impress a man. She had to have been in deep to send this person thousands of dollars (reports say from $4-8 thousand).
I certainly hope that this scammer is apprehended and prosecuted. For encouraging homicide among other things.
And as you highlight, the husband did arrive home feeling unwell.
A mild stroke or cardiac incident might make soup taste bitter.
Without solid forensic evidence, it would be difficult to prosecute.
