Hundreds. But no rocky planets yet, just gas giants. The reason being that rocky planets are too small even for the Hubble Space Telescope to resolve. And the gas giants we have detected are not by visual means, but by deduction. The star "wobbles" due to the gravitational influence of a large planet(s) orbiting that sun.
