Place the tomatoes in a food processor and pulse to chop, not puree. Season with the salt and white pepper. Place in a large piece of cheesecloth and draw up the ends to form a tight package. Hang over a bowl overnight in the refrigerator. Discard the tomatoes. (If the tomato juice is not perfectly clear, strain through a coffee filter.) Stir in the vodka and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

Combine the crabmeat, parsley, tarragon, chives, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and white pepper in a medium bowl, and mix gently.

Place a 1/2-cup ring mold (or 3-inch diameter ring) in the center of a shallow, rimmed soup bowl. Stuff 1/2 cup of the crabmeat mixture into the mold, and ladle 1/2 cup of the tomato water into the bowl. Remove the ring mold, and garnish the rim of the bowl with 1 tablespoon each of the zucchini, squash, and red bell pepper. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the basil in the broth and serve immediately.
