Low carb?
How about some Chamomile and Cauliflower soup?
Chamomile Cauliflower Soup

7 chamomile tea bags
3 cups water
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 large shallot, diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
olive oil, for garnish
Boil the water and tea bags in a large saucepan for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and squeeze the excess liquid into the pan. Add the cauliflower to the tea, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, reserving the liquid.

In a small saucepan, saute the shallot and celery in the olive oil until the shallot is clear. Put in a blender with the cauliflower, plenty of salt and pepper to taste, and a cup of the reserved cooking liquid. Blend until smooth and add more liquid if necessary until desired thickness is reached. Pour into bowls, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and freshly chopped parsley, and enjoy!

This soup is very soothing to an upset tummy and a small bowl is a nice before bed snack that will send you off to dreamland.
