Gifts-in-a-jar Dreaming of a White Christmas

So this soup had to be great, it had a great name good ingredients, but I was disappointed in it. It needed a little something else. Maybe carrots, onions, peas, something a little sweet. I'm listing it because a good cook would know what to do to make it great instead of just OK. So if you figure it out please tell me what it needs!  * I also can't find celery flakes, that could be the difference, I used 2 tsp of celery seeds instead.
