Hi Lucille, and welcome to the Wine Board. We have an excellent search function on this board. Just enter each food in a general (not specific) way and you will find plenty of recommendations. For example there are four pairings for French Onion Soup.

I'd have no trouble pairing to this menu. This one screams for an all-bubbly wine list.
For a 2 wine menu: NV Brut with the entree, soup and plat principal, Braschetta d' Acquii with dessert.
Three wine: NV brut with the first 2 courses, and a decidedly heavy Champagne (Bolly NV or a vintage wine with some weight) with the salmon and / or chicken (A brut rosé could work equally well with the chicken). Still gotta go with the Bd Acquii with the chocolate.
