What is a good soup thickener?

Chef's answer
Starches like flour and cornstarch are ideal thickeners for heartier soups and stews to give it that silky texture. To prevent the starch from clumping, whisk a few tablespoons in a small bowl with some broth or water rather than just adding it directly into the soup.
