Let's break down the problem:
The customer wants to choose one soup, one main course, and one side.
To find the total number of different lunch sets, we need to multiply the number of options in each category:
$$3 \text{ soups} \times 5 \text{ main courses} \times 2 \text{ sides} = 30$$
So there are 30 different lunch sets that can be created.
Answer: 30
