Generally one, sometimes two, occasionally three. Rarely more than three.

We're not yet sure what the likelihood is of having planets in a binary (two-star) or trinary (three-star) solar system, but it's probably pretty low. The gravitational interactions between the stars would probably really mess up any chance for planets, unless the stars were pretty widely separated.
